Life-affirming: the best of what Postmodernism tried to deliver ie colour, fun and a break away from following the International Style masters. Along with CZWG’s China Wharf the injection of colour was welcome. What happened to CZWG after these inspirational projects?



CZWG Architects - Background
Piers Gough, born 1946, is a famous UK architect, formerly partner in firm of Campbell, Zogolovich, Wilkinson and Gough (now CZWG)

Post-modern buildings in London's Docklands made Piers Gough's name:-
Cascades Apartment Tower on the Isle of Dogs (1988)
Housing (The Owl) Bermondsey

Piers Gough designed the Lutyens exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London (1981-2) and a yellow-coloured block on South Bank of Thames in London, which forms a partial spiral in plan [photo top of this page].

Piers Gough is designing a controversial skyscraper development proposed for the former Endeavour garage site on Preston Road, Brighton. The project has been branded "phallic egocentricism" due to its unusual, organic tower design.

Piers Gough is advisor to Frank Gehry on the King Alfred site in Hove, England and is also working on Brighton Marina, England.

CZWG are based in the City of London
