    The Millennium Dome was the first building I became truly fascinated by as a kid. Still to this day is an astonishing piece of architecture to look at.

    Put his own, and the wider British, architectural design ethos on the map, literally and figuratively...

    Even had a, non-acting, starring role, if I remember correctly, in BL's/Rover Cars' German language TV advertisement in the 1980s.

    RIP.

    RIP, a man who really made a mark with his buildings, and was famous enough to have a Spitting Image puppet. An inside out one, as with the Lloyds Building and Pompidou centre...
