He spent much of his time in this place, so Ill start with his association with The RIBA. Ill then describe his life and the principle roles he played in the profession and society, the architectural work of which he was most proud and for which he wished to be remembered, and Ill finish with some quotes, if youll indulge me, which mark the man as a visionary with insights ahead of his time which have inspired my work as an architect and which remain relevant to our work as an Institute for the advancement of Architecture even today. So, first, Andrews association with the RIBA He was elected ARIBA in 1952 and FRIBA in 1968 and his work at the Institute began in earnest when he was elected to Council in 1960. He contributed to the RIBA Office Survey, published in 1962, The Architect and his Office from which the RIBA Plan of Work was derived. He participated in the battle with RIBA the Monopolies and Mergers Commission in 1978 which the Institute lost so that the social compact that justified scale fees and a ban on advertising was gone forever. He was elected Senior Vice President in 1981 and would have gone on to become President had not Owen Luder invoked the then neglected bye law opening up the presidency to election by the membership. Andrew lost to Owen, who then did it again in 1994 when he defeated Robin Nicholson. Remind me to check with you, Owen, if I ever decide to run myself! Turning to his life and the roles he played. He grew up in Chesterfield, attending the local grammar school and went up to read a Natural Sciences Tripos at Queens Cambridge, graduating during the Second World War. From 1944-46 he served in the Admiralty Scientific Service Experimental Officer during the war doing research at sea on radar. After the war, disillusioned with science and warfare, and with a yen to turn to architecture and social purpose, he wrote to Richard Crossman via a contact at Queens who advised transferring to the ɫTV Research Establishment in the Architectural Science division, where he met and worked with Peter Parkin and Bill Allen, amongst others during 1946 47. They encouraged him to apply for the Government grants then available for ex-servicemen and scholarship that enable him to retrain as an architect and so he went on to The Architectural Association from which he graduated as an Architect in 1951. At the AA Andrew says he learned of the importance of good management, developed an understanding of the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach and undertook early research on pre-fabricated buildings. He was politically active, a prominent Socialist, Pacifist, and editor of student magazine, Plan. Here he developed his belief in the welfare state and architecture in public service. For his final dissertation he collaborated with Pat Crooke, John Voelcker on a project called Zone Grid, presented as their graduation project at Aix en Prevence 1953 as one of the contributions of MARS, the British section of CIAM and illustrated in the Team 10 retrospective of 2005. Their joint project against the rules of RIBA which recognized only individual contributions and he was almost disqualified! Voelcker said of the three students collaboration, When we worked on the project, we worked as we felt architects shouldWhen we finished the project..we realized that what we had been doing was to develop a way of thinking and a method of working which I believe all three of us have continued to develop since. After the AA Andrew worked from 1951 -53 at Farmer & Dark with John Voelcker alongside Frank Dark on prefabricated design for Marchwood power station in aluminium, glass and steel an antidote to monumental brick (used to conceal industrial purpose)now demolished. He was sacked for advising the client that locating the substation downwind of the smoke stack would cause deterioration of the insulation. From there Andrew returned to the North to work at West Riding County Architects Department under Hubert Bennett, the County Architect, where he designed a pre-fabricated system for schools in wood and steel. He became interested in breaking down the scale of large secondary schools into distinct elements and built a prototype prefab school at Snaith Secondary Modern which I remember visiting with him as a toddler. Between 1955-61 Andrew joined Sheffield as Deputy City Architect to J Lewis Womersley where he designed Castle Hill Market which despite the many who loved this, the most singular market in Britain, described in the Guardian as another daring but slightly barmy Modernist project by the City architect which was not listed and was demolished in 2013. Jack Lynn and Ivor Smith were simultaneously working on Park Hill Flats subsequently listed Grade II* and magnificently restored by Hawkins Brown and Studio Egret West. Years later, Andrew worked with us at HTA on the feasibility work that led to the English Partnerships funded restoration of the iconic brutalist flats. From 1961 98 Joined the London arm of Robert Matthew Johnson-Marshall & Partners in 1961. To work on the York University Development Plan with Stirrat Johnson Marshall, He was taken into partnership with Stirrat, Maurice Lee, Hugh Maurice and others in 1964 became Chairman in 1983 and President in 1989. He retired in 1998 and RMJM was sold to the Morrison family. Its subsequent decline and fall and eventual insolvency in 2012 were a source of considerable distress to Andrew. But the family moved south in the 1960s to begin what Andrew has often described as the happiest period of his life. RMJM were based in Welwyn Garden City and Weymouth Street, Marylebone and we rented a flat in the Queen Anne Brocket Hall while my father designed and built a house for the family in Hatfield into which we moved in 1963 and in which his widow, Lady Lily (she revels in the title) lives to this day. Andrews annus horribilis was undoubtedly 1982 when he lost the presidential election to Owen Luder and failed in the succession to Chair of the PSA possibly owing to his politically active past catching up with him. But he was to be rewarded with a knighthood (Knight Batchelor) in 1986 to the pride and satisfaction of his friends and family and giving rise to the acerbic comment in Private Eyes Piloti column, A Decent man and a good architect who is the only member of his profession to be knighted in recent years a back-handed slap in the face for the RIBA Establishment. Andrew was kept busy in his retirement and earned pocket money as a specialist consultant advising on immunity for listing of post war buildings he never felt comfortable that buildings should be preserved too soon. His last years were somewhat blighted by a 1.2m asbestos claim against his estate and that of RMJM Scotland partner Vernon Lee. I fought this with Marcus Lee, Vernons son and we were happy to be able to ward of the claimants and win our case, with costs. Andrew leaves a widow, Lady Lily, three surviving children, five grandchildren, two great grandchildren and three step-grandchildren. The RMJM buildings and projects of which he was most proud include: 1961 1989 University of York with Stirrat Johnson Marshall, Bob Owston, Colin Beck, Bill Bordass and others clients Eric, Lord James and John West-Taylor. 1973-79 Hillingdon Civic Centre with David Parkes, Terence Swailes, Bob Owston and others Thurston Williams Borough Architect 197780 Hong Kong Castle Peak A & B Power Station, Harbour reclamation and pier head project clients Bill Stones and Laurence Kadoorie of China Light & Power.

Chair of the Walter Segal Self Build Trust Tributes: Sir Andrew had a profound and positive influence on me. I was (and continue to be) grateful for his mentoring and entrusting me to undertake various projects. As you say, he was very supportive, enabling and wise. Richard Lorch He was a major force for the good for the profession. Ricky Burdett It seems that a number of Sir Andrews contemporaries within BDP have died over the last few years. The way in which that generation of British architectscame together through firms like RMJM and BDP to rebuild the country in the latter half of the Twentieth Century is most impressive and provided a great platform for all of us who have come behind them. David Cash He was one of just a handful of men who can claim some part of the shared responsibility for starting CIC and I would love for that part of his remarkable life to be part of the memorial. Graham Watts Andrew and RMJM were one of BDPs yardstick rivals for many years. Andrew was my external examiner at Liverpool University in 1965 and I remember his amused response to my thesis design efforts. He still gave me a first. Richard Saxon It seemed to me he was one of those consummate professionals that defined standards during his era.Rab Bennetts.
