FROM THE EDITOR
A
s we enter a new year, and hopefully an improved context where it comes to the pandemic, it’s important to reflect on what we have lost. Two greats of the industry, Richard Rogers, and very recently, engineering innovator Max Fordham have gone, leaving a huge amount of admiration,
but more importantly, great buildings, in their wake.
Both were celebrated by their professions, but Fordham had a lower public profile, not helming headline- grabbers like the Pompidou or Lloyds, but bringing his ingenuity to swathes of important projects, benefitting architecture and society. Notable schemes included the late 1970s Alexandra Road Estate in north London, designed by Neave Brown and Grade II* listed in 1993. He also worked on the Contact Theatre in Manchester which opened in 1972, and the Tate St Ives in Cornwall, designed between 1991 and 1993.
He was pushing the sustainability agenda long before everyone else caught up, and the 1990 RMC headquarters building he designed with Cullinan Studio in Surrey was one of the first commercial projects of its kind to be naturally ventilated. Keynsham Civic Centre (2014) has a CLT frame, and an ‘energy in use’ A rating. Fordham designed his own home as a Passivhaus with architect Justin Bere recently, adding automated integrated shutters to minimise energy loss.
As sustainability comes more and more to the fore, the highly functional, yet boundary-pushing concepts that Fordham drove through a wide range of projects must inspire the architects and engineers to innovate and hone future building performance. There could be no more fitting tribute.
We look forward to the projects 2022 will bring, but also let’s remember some of the other great names we lost in 2021,who have helped to influence the designers of the future – ChrisWilkinson (76),Art Gensler (85),Owen Luder (93),Helmut Jahn (81), PauloMendes da Rocha (92), and Oriol Bohigas (95).

Architects’ Datafile is very happy to be continuing to bring you the projects that matter to architects from across the board in 2021, from the mainstream to the ‘landmark’ structures.We will also feature great thought leadership as always – this issue, Nigel Ostime from Hawkins\Brown delves into Pre-Construction Services Agreements and why your clients should get one. Also, we profile Lead8, one of the biggest names out there in international mixed use and retail projects.
Last but not least, a belated welcome on board to our new Editorial Assistant, Laura Shadwell, who is a great addition to the team. Laura’s already crucial to helping us keep on top of the workload as we continue to navigate the balance between home and office, while keeping quality to the fore.
