Michael Wilford, CBE, is one of Britian's most acclaimed living architects. His work alongside James Stirling throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s included some of the most important post-war buildings of the 20th century. Perhaps the most notable of these are their designs for an extension to the Tate Gallery in London and for the National Gallery in Stuttgart, Germany. Following Stirling's death in 1992, Wilford formed Michael Wilford and Associates whose work includes The Lowry in Salford and the British Embassy in Berlin.
