Richard Rogers founder criticises changes at the firm

摘要

One of the founders of the Richard Rogers Partnership, Marco Goldschmied, has written an outspoken "letter of regret" to architect Lord Rogers criticising changes at the practice that he helped set up 40 years ago. His unprecedented intervention was prompted by the move of the practice from its Hammersmith home and redundancies at the firm, now called Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, made just before Christmas, which Goldschmied (inset, left) claimed were handled in a "cowardly" manner over email. However, the practice has hit back, stating that Goldschmied was wrong to imply there had not been a "full and proper one-to-one consultation process" prior to the departure of staff.
