Lord Richard Rogers – Maggie's
Customised Fender® Stratocaster®. The objective was to give the guitar a textured, structural feel, with a view to conveying the two primary areas of Lord Rogers' signature architectural work; a distinctive 'inside-out' approach to the construction process, together with the frequent use of bright vivid colours. The hand painted solution is achieved employing an oversized pickguard covering the whole guitar; back and front, which amplifies the sense of 3D.Architect Lord Richard Rogers has a trademark fluid style, reflecting his passion for technology and innovation. Among the Richard Rogers Partnerships (Now known as Richard Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners) many landmark projects are the design of London's financial heart, Canary Wharf Riverside South, the Antwerp Law Courts in Belgium, the award-winning Welsh Parliament building in Cardiff, and the renovation of Barcelona's historic Las Arenas Bull-Ring into a leisure centre. Rogers also designed the massive Madrid Barajas Airport which opened February 2006, and is currently working on Heathrow Terminal Five.Richard Rogers has been named as the 2007 Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Lord Rogers has designed the new Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre which is currently under construction at the Charing Cross, Hospital London. The RockCouture™ project was initially conceived by Ian Spero, CEO of BigTime TV, to raise funds in support of this project, which is on course to open September of this year.
