[edit] Early Life and Education
Farrell was born in Sale, Cheshire. As a youth he moved to Newcastle upon Tyne, where he attended St Cuthbert's High School. He graduated with a degree from Newcastle University, followed by a Masters in urban planning at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
[edit] Career
In 1965, Farrell moved to London to form a partnership with Sir Nicholas Grimshaw. In 1980 he founded his own company, Terry Farrell & Partners. In addition, Farrell lectures at a number of different universities including Cambridge University, the University of London and the University of Pennsylvania.
In the early part of his career, he was best known for the TV-am headquarters in Camden Lock and the redevelopment of Comyn Ching Triangle in London's Covent Garden. In the 80's and 90's his projects included Charing Cross Station, the MI6 headquarters building, The Deep Aquarium in Hull and The International Centre for Life in Newcastle. More recent work includes the new headquarters for the Home Office, the conversion of the Grade 1 listed Royal Institution of Great Britain and the Great North Museum in Newcastle.[1]
Over the course of his career he has been responsible for regeneration projects in the UK including Newcastle Quayside, Brindleyplace in Birmingham, Edinburgh Exchange District, Greenwich Peninsula and Paddington Basin.[2] He has also designed his own iconic buildings within these projects, including the Edinburgh International Conference Centre and The Point in Paddington Basin. In May 2010 he was appointed to regenerate the 72-acre (290,000 m2) area around Earls Court exhibition centre.[3]
In East Asia, projects include Incheon International Airport in Seoul and Beijing South Railway Station - the largest in Asia. When completed in December 2010 Guangzhou Station will be the largest railway station in the world. Since setting up his practice in Hong Kong in 1990 he has designed the Peak Tower, Kowloon Station development[4] and the British Consulate-General, Hong Kong.
Farrell has contributed to key strategic issues. He advises the Mayor of London[5] on his Design Advisory Committee and the Department for Transport on high speed rail (HS2).[6] In 2008 he was appointed Design and Planning Leader for the Thames Gateway[7] - Europe’s largest regeneration project.
[edit] Personal Life
Farrell has been married three times and has five children - one of them Jo Farrell is an award-winning photographer.[8] He currently lives above his studio office in Marylebone, London.
