Michael Hopkins, one of the pioneers of British High Tech Architecture
Michael Hopkins, one of the pioneers of British High Tech architecture has passed away at 88, leaving a legacy of
design that set the stage for subsequent modernism at a time when American architecture and design became distracted by Robert Venturi and his writings.



Finding the beauty in the mundane has always been a hallmark of Hi Tech, creating details and a visual understanding of how things work and go together, as poetry.

We hope that as a new generation of architects and designers work to find balance in sustainability, adaptive reuse and structural expression, they discover and study the work of Michael Hopkins, and a springboard to what is yet to be inventive, hopeful and still possible in our industry.
