Sir Terry Farrell

Sir Terry Farrell CBE is considered to be the UK’s leading architect planner, with offices in London, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Throughout his career, he has championed urban planning and helped shape government policy on key issues. This engagement is across the political spectrum having worked on citymaking and public affairs with all the leading parties: Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, and Scottish National Party, and across the scale range from towns like Ashford, cities like Edinburgh and Newcastle/Gateshead, metropolises like London, and regions for the Government such as Thames Gateway. Furthermore, his outlook and experience are built on many years of consensus building from wide ranging viewpoints.

During 40 years in practice he has completed many award-winning buildings including Embankment Place and The Home Office Headquarters as well as millennium projects such as The Deep in Hull and Centre for Life in Newcastle and masterplans including Greenwich Peninsula, Paddington Basin, Newcastle Quayside and Brindleyplace. In East Asia, notable projects include Incheon airport in Seoul, Beijing Station and Guangzhou High Speed Station in China (the largest in the world) and high rise KK100 (the tallest building by a UK architect).

He was invited by the Architecture Minister, Ed Vaizey MP, to lead a new, independent Review of Architecture and the Built Environment. He has been the Mayor of London’s Design Advisor and advises the Department for Transport on high speed rail. He is Design Champion for the Thames Gateway, Europe’s largest regeneration project, where he worked for the past decade. As recognition of this, in 2013 he was voted the individual who made the Greatest Contribution to London’s Planning and Development over the last 10 years, awarded by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.

So far, de Botton has commissioned and worked with Peter Zumthor, MVRDV, Sir Michael Hopkins, JVA and Nord. There will be future houses by John Pawson, Grayson Perry and FAT architects and David Chipperfield. De Botton was made an honorary fellow of the RIBA, in recognition of his services to architecture both through Living Architecture and his book, The Architecture of Happiness, which looked at the question of beauty in architecture - and which was a critical and commercial success, selling a million copies worldwide.

The Team

Neil Bennett

Having joined Farrells 25 years ago, Neil is lead partner at the architect/planning practice for strategic architecture and urban design projects. As an architect – planner, he has a wealth of experience in the creative and enabling aspects of place-shaping and built environment projects, and is currently advising both public and private sector clients on the development impact of some of UK’s major planned infrastructure investments.

Neil’s experience spans all stages of the creation of our built environment, from thought leadership, through the appreciation and creative re-use of historic buildings, to the issues involved in constructing our building stock.

Recent work with Farrells includes the Thames Gateway, the campaign for ‘urban greening’, and holistic sustainable planning of the UK’s transport infrastructure.

Max Farrell

Max Farrell, Partner, is leading the review at Farrells. Max has a background in public affairs and public relations. He has an MA in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Westminster and is a member of the Academy of Urbanism. At Farrells his role includes liaison with local and national government on high speed rail and aviation strategy as well as proposals for a new transport ‘super hub’ at Old Oak Common where HS2 meets Crossrail in West London.

Max was previously head of the Community and Regeneration sector at Electoral Reform Services, the UKs leading electoral services company, where he devised and led public engagement programmes for ballots and referendums throughout the country. Prior to joining Farrells in 2010 he was a public affairs consultant at Pall Mall Consult where he engaged with local and national government on behalf of private and voluntary sector organisations on high profile projects including eco towns.

Charlie Peel

Charlie is coordinating the Review from Farrells. He is a researcher, designer and built environment consultant with a background in urban studies, green architecture, and social science. Charlie has an MSc in City Design and Social Science from the London School of Economics’ Cities Programme. He also holds an MA in Architectural History from the University of Edinburgh.

His work with Building Futures, the RIBA’s think tank, involved leading the delivery of a major publication, Facing Up to Rising Sea Levels. Charlie authored and managed the ten-month research project on coastal cities from start to finish; the result prompted significant debate and public interest as well as consultation with the Environment Agency. He also created the RIBA’s Sustainability Hub: a central, online and free resource on sustainability and architecture.

He co-founded and runs BikeBox, an east London-based social enterprise established to create job opportunities for young people and provide a carbon-zero food delivery network. From time to time Charlie undertakes voluntary building projects with VoluntaryDesign&Build. He is a recent member of the RIBA’s Sustainable Futures Group.

Elise Baudon

Elise is a researcher for the Farrell Review. Prior to joining Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, Elise gained experience investigating the role of policy frameworks, stakeholder relationships, and local economies for both city and regional scale architectural projects in France and in the UK. She also holds a BSc in Environmental Biology from University College London (UCL), and participated in a one year programme at Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.

As a former biologist, Elise has pursued her interest in natural systems and disaster mitigation in the developed world and emerging economies since entering an Urban Planning program. She aspires to resolve complex ecological issues inherent to urban environments by combining innovative policies, economic strategies and design thinking in an international framework.

Most recently, she co-organised a panel discussion on the economic and social cost of recovery in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in NYC, "Funding Sandy Recovery: How It Works, Accountability, and Social (In)Justice", for the 2013 edition of the Planners Network Conference.

Andres Torres

Andres is a researcher for the Farrell Review. He recently completed a thesis on the politics of public space, while at the London School of Economics' Cities Programme. Before relocating to London, he spent several years working in government and non-profit sectors, including a period managing special projects for the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and directing external relations for the Chicago Office of Tourism and Culture.

Through his work, Andres has developed a strong interest in the intersection of social and cultural policy and the potential role of public-private partnerships in advancing both. He holds a BA in Humanities, with a focus on architecture and urban studies, from Yale University. He studied the politics of architecture and was awarded research fellowships for investigations in Spain and Berlin.

He was also actively involved as a Board Member of several non-profit arts organisations, including Landmarks Illinois, the state’s historical preservation group.

Michael Riebel

Michael is a researcher for the Farrell Review with a background in architecture and art history. He worked in Germany, Mexico, Switzerland, Qatar and then fell in love with London, where he has lived with his family for 7 years. He holds an MA in Art History (University of Hamburg) and a Diploma in Architecture (TU – Berlin).

Prior to joining the Farrell Review he gained extensive experience in all fields of architecture. Next to developing projects with his own Hackney-based design studio, he worked for renowned practices such as Daniel Libeskind, FCBStudios and John McAslan. The projects he was involved in spanned over all levels of scale from interior design to large scale regeneration projects like Broadcasting Place in Leeds or City Road in London.

Michael was always interested in how the perception of urban form influences social and political structures and how these mechanisms provide opportunities for architectural interventions. He just finished an MSc at the London School of Economics in and City Design and Social Science with extensive field work of how residents perceive and use their public realm in an east London council estate.
