Figures from across architecture pay tribute to Michael Hopkins

Figures from across architecture have been paying tribute to Sir Michael Hopkins, who has died aged 88.

His wife and business partner Patty Hopkins said: “Michael was obsessive about architecture and tenacious in refining a design until he was absolutely satisfied with it.
