● SIR TERRY FARRELL IS AN older-generation architect (born 1938) who was brought up on a housing estate on the northern edge of Newcastle (“on the edge of the edge”), passed the eleven-plus to attend the local Roman Catholic Grammar School, St Cuthbert’s, and was encouraged by his art master to study architecture at Newcastle University, where he must have been an exceptionally talented student because, after a brief and unhappy year when he worked for the London County Council in County Hall, he won a Harkness Fellowship to the University of Pennsylvania.
There, he.
