Piers Gough CBE RIBA RA

Born in Brighton in 1946, Piers Gough studied at the Architectural Association in London between 1965 and 1971. After this, he worked alone or with his future partners, before the practice of Campbell, Zogolovitch Wilkinson & Gough (now known as CZWG) was set up in 1975. Principal buildings of the practice include: China Wharf, Cascades, The Circle, Wolfe Crescent, Dundee Wharf and Batsons & Regents Wharves all in London's Docklands; 200 Aztec West; various buildings at Bryanston & Uppingham Schools; the Street-Porter house in London, 66 Vauxhall; Summer's Street, Soho Lofts, Bankside Lofts, Bankside Studios and The Glass Building in London; the Westbourne Grove Public Lavatories and flower kiosk and new galleries at the National Portrait Gallery. His café at Brindleyplace in Birmingham won a Royal Fine Art Commission & British Sky Broadcasting Building of the Year Award in 1998.

In 1999, the Glass Building won a National Homebuilder Design Award for Best New Housing Development of the Year, as did Bankside Lofts in SE1 for Best Restoration and Conversion of an Existing Building, which also won a Civic Trust Award. In 2001, Piers' Green Bridge at Mile End Park in East London won an RIBA Award. In 2003, Fulham Island won the Evening Standard London Lifestyle Award.

The Masterplan for the Gorbals in Glasgow has won universal acclaim as an exemplar of inner city regeneration. Masterplans for a City Science quarter in Glasgow, the Vaux site in Sunderland and Ladbroke Green in Notting Hill Gate have followed.

Piers was appointed a CBE for services to architecture in the 1998 Queen's Birthday Honour List. He was elected a Royal Academician in 2002. He is currently a Commissioner of English Heritage and on its Stonehenge Board, Design Champion for Kent and a Trustee of Trinity Buoy Wharf.
