Eric Parry

Eric Owen Parry RA (born 24 March 1952) is a British architect, designer, writer and educator.

[5] In his book Context: Architecture and the Genius of Place (2015), Parry alludes to his memories of growing up in Kuwait within sight of the nomadic life of Bedouin tribes.

This was accompanied by a number of invited competition entries, namely for the extension of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (1993), and to rebuild St George's Hall, Windsor Castle after the fire of 1992.

[15][16] The cultural side to the practice is reflected in Parry's projects for London art galleries such as the Timothy Taylor Gallery in Dering Street and Carlos Place, as well as the restoration and renewal of St Martin-in-the-Fields, completed in 2008, and the Holburne Museum in Bath, Somerset.

[18] In 2013, Parry's completion of One Eagle Place, Piccadilly, was announced in the press,[19] featuring a cornice by Turner Prize winner, artist Richard Deacon.

The news was followed by Parry's completion of the neighbouring 8 St James's Square, a building that broke the UK office rent record.

By the beginning of 2016, a Volume 3 was released, featuring an introduction by Dalibor Vesely and with main text by Edwin Heathcote.

[29] Parry has also hosted a series of seminars documented in film with Joseph Rykwert, Dalibor Vesely, Robin Middleton, Peter Carl, Alberto Pérez-Gómez and David Leatherbarrow.
