Richard George Rogers, Baron Rogers of Riverside  (born 23 July 1933) is a British architect noted for his modernist and functionalist designs in high-tech architecture. Rogers is perhaps best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the Lloyd's building and Millennium Dome both in London, the Senedd in Cardiff, and the European Court of Human Rights building in Strasbourg. He is a winner of the RIBA Gold Medal, the Thomas Jefferson Medal, the RIBA Stirling Prize, the Minerva Medal and Pritzker Prize. He is a Senior Partner at Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, previously known as the Richard Rogers Partnership.

Richard Rogers was born in Florence (Tuscany) in 1933 into an Anglo-Italian family. His father, William Nino Rogers (1906-1993), was the cousin of Italian architect Ernesto Nathan Rogers. His ancestors moved from Sunderland to Venice in about 1800, then settling in Trieste, Milan and Florence. In 1939 William Nino Rogers decided to come back to England. Upon moving to England, Richard Rogers went to St Johns School, Leatherhead. Rogers did not excel academically, which made him believe that he were "stupid because he could not read or memorize his school work" and as a consequence he stated that he became "very depressed". He wasn't able to read until the age of 11, and it was not until after he had his first child that he realised that he was dyslexic. After leaving St Johns School, he undertook a foundation course at Epsom School of Art (now University for the Creative Arts) before going into National Service between 1951 and 1953. He then attended the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, where he gained the Architectural Association's Diploma (AA Dipl) from 1954 until 1959, subsequently graduating with a master's degree (M Arch) from the Yale School of Architecture in 1962 on a Fulbright Scholarship. While studying at Yale, Rogers met fellow architecture student Norman Foster and planning student Su Brumwell.  After leaving Yale he joined Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in New York. On returning to England in 1963, he, Norman Foster and Brumwell set up architectural practice as Team 4 with Wendy Cheeseman (Brumwell later married Rogers, Cheeseman married Foster). Rogers and Foster earned a reputation for what was later termed by the media high-tech architecture.  By 1967, Team 4 had split up, but Rogers continued to collaborate with Su Rogers, along with John Young and Laurie Abbott. In early 1968 he was commissioned to design a house and studio for Humphrey Spender near Maldon, Essex, a glass cube framed with I-beams. He continued to develop his ideas of prefabrication and structural simplicity to design a Wimbledon house for his parents. This was based on ideas from his conceptual Zip-Up House, such as the use of standardized components based on refrigerator panels to make energy-efficient buildings.  Rogers subsequently joined forces with Italian architect Renzo Piano, a partnership that was to prove fruitful. His career leapt forward when he, Piano and Gianfranco Franchini won the design competition for the Pompidou Centre in July 1971, alongside a team from Ove Arup that included Irish engineer Peter Rice.  This building established Rogers's trademark of exposing most of the building's services (water, heating and ventilation ducts, and stairs) on the exterior, leaving the internal spaces uncluttered and open for visitors to the centre's art exhibitions. This style, dubbed "Bowellism" by some critics, was not universally popular at the time the centre opened in 1977, but today the Pompidou Centre is a widely admired Parisian landmark. Rogers revisited this inside-out style with his design for London's Lloyd's building, completed in 1986 - another controversial design which has since become a famous and distinctive landmark in its own right.

Richard George Rogers, baron Rogers of Riverside (född 23 juli 1933) är en brittisk arkitekt känd för sina modernistiska och funktionalistiska utformningar inom högteknologisk arkitektur. Rogers är kanske mest känd för sitt arbete med Centre Pompidou i Paris, Lloyd's-byggnaden och Millennium Dome både i London, Senedd i Cardiff, och Europadomstolen för mänskliga rättigheter i Strasbourg. Han är en vinnare av RIBA Gold Medal, Thomas Jefferson Medal, RIBA Stirling Prize, Minerva Medal och Pritzker Prize. Han är Senior Partner på Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, tidigare känt som Richard Rogers Partnership. Richard Rogers föddes i Florens (Tuscany) 1933 i en anglo-italiensk familj. Hans far, William Nino Rogers (1906-1993), var kusin till den italienske arkitekten Ernesto Nathan Rogers. Hans förfäder flyttade från Sunderland till Venedig omkring 1800 och bosatte sig då i Trieste, Milano och Florens. 1939 bestämde sig William Nino Rogers för att komma tillbaka till England. Vid flytten till England gick Richard Rogers på St Johns School i Leatherhead. Rogers utmärkte sig inte akademiskt, vilket fick honom att tro att han var "dum eftersom han inte kunde läsa eller memorera sitt skolarbete" och som en följd av detta uppgav han att han blev "mycket deprimerad". Han kunde inte läsa förrän vid elva års ålder och det var inte förrän efter att han hade fått sitt första barn som han insåg att han var dyslektiker. Efter att ha lämnat St Johns-skolan gick han en grundkurs vid Epsom School of Art (numera University for the Creative Arts) innan han gick i National Service mellan 1951 och 1953. Därefter gick han på Architectural Association School of Architecture i London, där han från 1954 till 1959 erhöll Architectural Association's Diploma (AA Dipl) och därefter tog examen med en magisterexamen (M Arch) från Yale School of Architecture 1962 på ett Fulbrightstipendium. Medan Rogers studerade vid Yale träffade han arkitekturstudenten Norman Foster och planeringsstudenten Su Brumwell. Efter att ha lämnat Yale anslöt han sig till Skidmore, Owings & Merrill i New York. Vid återkomsten till England 1963 satte han, Norman Foster och Brumwell upp arkitektpraktik som Team 4 med Wendy Cheeseman (Brumwell gifte sig senare med Rogers, Cheeseman gifte sig med Foster). Rogers och Foster tjänade ett rykte för det som senare benämndes av medias högteknologiska arkitektur. År 1967 hade Team 4 splittrats, men Rogers fortsatte att samarbeta med Su Rogers, tillsammans med John Young och Laurie Abbott. I början av 1968 fick han i uppdrag att rita ett hus och en studio för Humphrey Spender nära Maldon, Essex, en glaskub inramad med I-balkar. Han fortsatte att utveckla sina idéer om prefabricering och strukturell enkelhet för att designa ett Wimbledonhus för sina föräldrar. Detta baserades på idéer från hans konceptuella Zip-Up House, såsom användning av standardiserade komponenter baserade på kylskåpspaneler för att göra energieffektiva byggnader. Rogers gick därefter samman med den italienske arkitekten Renzo Piano, ett partnerskap som skulle visa sig fruktbart. Hans karriär hoppade framåt när han, Piano och Gianfranco Franchini vann designtävlingen för Pompidou Centre i juli 1971, vid sidan av ett lag från Ove Arup som inkluderade den irländske ingenjören Peter Rice. Denna byggnad etablerade Rogers varumärke av att exponera de flesta av byggnadens tjänster (vatten, värme och ventilation kanaler, och trappor) på utsidan, vilket lämnar de inre utrymmena oklämda och öppna för besökare till centrets konstutställningar. Denna stil, som kallas "Bowellism" av vissa kritiker, var inte allmänt populär vid den tidpunkt då centret öppnades 1977, men idag är Pompidoucentret ett mycket beundrat Parisiskt landmärke. Rogers återbesökte denna in-och-ut-stil med sin design för Londons Lloyd's byggnad, färdig 1986 - en annan kontroversiell design som sedan dess blivit ett känt och utpräglat landmärke i sig.
