Lord Rogers of Riverside obituary
One of Britain’s greatest if most controversial architects, who locked horns with Prince Charles
...Richard George Rogers was born in Florence in 1933. His father, William, a medical student at the time, was the grandson of an English dentist who had settled in Italy. His mother, Ermengarde (née Gairinger), always known as Dada, was from Trieste. Architecture was in the family as her father, Ricardo, had trained as an architect and engineer while Rogers’s father had a cousin, Ernesto Rogers, who became one of Italy’s leading postwar architects.
...The spark to his career was his marriage in 1960 to Brumwell, whom he met while she was studying at the London School of Economics..
...After divorcing Brumwell in the early Seventies, Rogers married the American-born Ruth Elias in 1973. She would go on to start a revolution of her own in cuisine when she opened the River Café in Hammersmith, west London....
...She survives Rogers along with their son Roo, an entrepreneur, business designer and author who lives in New York. Their second son, Bo, died in 2007 at the age of 27 after a seizure.
He is also survived by three sons from his first marriage: Ab Rogers, the former the head of interior design at the Royal College of Art; Ben Rogers, a director of the think tank Centre For London; and Zad Rogers, a founding director of Atomized Studios, a video production company....
