Happy Birthday, Richard Rogers! You're the architect who turned buildings inside-out and made pipes fashionable. From the Pompidou Center in Paris—where you boldly showed us that plumbing could be art—to London's Millennium Dome, proving even giant tents can become iconic landmarks, your creativity knows no bounds.Your visionary designs like Cardiff's Senedd and Strasbourg's European Court of Human Rights building continue to inspire awe (and occasional confusion) worldwide. Here's wishing you a birthday filled with joy, laughter, and absolutely no structural malfunctions—because let's face it, nobody wants their cake served deconstructed. Cheers to another year of architectural brilliance!
