Good bye my friend ...Architect Will Alsop dies aged 70

This is tragic news, my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. When we discovered Will, like us, was chosen as one of the architects for the first series of Ugly House, we knew this seriously talented maverick in our midst would set the bench mark extremely high. Yet another original thinker lost.British architect Will Alsop, described as "one of architecture's biggest characters and talents", has died at the age of 70 after a short illness.

Alsop, most recently the founder of architecture firm All Design, died in hospital yesterday, Saturday 12 May 2018.

The architect was known for his colourful, expressive and playful designs and his warm, generous spirit. Among his best-known buildings is Peckham Library in London, which won UK architecture's biggest accolade, the Stirling Prize, in 2000.
