Sir Michael Hopkins dies aged 88
The influential and highly regarded architect died surrounded by his family
Sir Michael Hopkins, one of the most respected and influential figures in British architecture, has died at the age of 88.
He is widely recognised as one of the most significant figures in British architecture over the past 50 years.
As a pioneer of high-tech architecture in the late twentieth century, Hopkins founded the acclaimed architectural firm Hopkins Architects alongside his wife, Patty Hopkins. Their portfolio includes a string of award-winning buildings such as the Schlumberger Cambridge Research Centre, the Mound Stand at Lord’s Cricket Ground, Glyndebourne Opera House, and the Guy’s and St Thomas’ Evelina Children’s Hospital.
