Tower 3
Over some three decades, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP), formerly Richard Rogers Partnership, has attracted critical acclaim and won dozens of international awards including the Stirling Prize 2006 for Terminal 4, Madrid Barajas Airport.
RSHP is an international architectural practice currently working on a major international airport - Heathrow Terminal 5 - as well as three towers in London, a significant refurbishment of the Jacob K. Javits Conference Center in New York, and major master plans in New York, London, Lisbon, Granada, Rome, and Seoul.
The practice has designed a wide range of buildings, notably the celebrated Pompidou Centre in Paris (with Renzo Piano); Lloyd's of London, the headquarters for Channel 4 Television, Lloyd's Register of Shipping, and Marks & Spencer, all in London; the European Court of Human Rights, Strasbourg; and the Bordeaux Law Courts and the Minami Yamashiro Primary School, Japan. Buildings currently being constructed include Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5; Bodegas Protos winery, Spain; an office development at 51 Louisiana Avenue in Washington, DC; and the high-profile regeneration of a historic bullring in Barcelona, which will soon begin a new life as a cultural and entertainment complex. Projects currently in development include office schemes in London at Canary Wharf and the Leadenhall Building, a 48-story office tower in the City of London. The New Area Terminal at Madrid Barajas Airport, the Antwerp Law Courts, and the National Assembly for Wales building in Cardiff all are RSHP designs that have opened since the beginning of 2006. RSHP employs more than 150 people in four offices across the world - Madrid, Barcelona, Tokyo, and London.
