"The architect's studio in London confirmed the death in an Instagram post, writing: It is with deep sadness that, on behalf of his family, the partners and practice of Farrells acknowledge the death of our founder, Sir Terry Farrell. Farrell was, along with Nicholas Grimshaw, one of the key minds behind the hi-tech movement of the 1980s and 90s, creating futuristic buildings, including one of his best known, the TV-am studios in Camden, London."
"Farrell was born in Sale, Cheshire, in 1938. His family moved to Newcastle and he grew up on what he described as the edge of the edge of the city, on a building site next to the fields, in a council estate called the Grange. He stayed in the city, graduating with a degree in architecture from the Newcastle University School in 1961, before crossing the Atlantic to attend the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia where he obtained a master's degree in urban planning."
