George Marsh (architect)

Horace George Marsh (16 March 1921 – October 1998) was an English architect, best known for his work on the design of buildings including Centre Point in London and Alpha Tower in Birmingham, in his role as a partner in the architectural practice of R. Seifert and Partners.

[2] Seifert's own early work is typified by Woolworth House of 1955 on London's Marylebone Road.

[6] From the time of Marsh's arrival in the late 1950s their work displayed a new-found flamboyance influenced by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier, Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer and the American practice Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.

[4] Marsh was to be the practice's leading designer throughout the 1960s and early 1970s[7] and worked closely with Richard Seifert on many of his most important buildings including Tolworth Tower,[8] Centre Point[9] and CAA House (originally called Space House)[10] in London, and Alpha Tower in his home city of Birmingham.

[11] Marsh was elected a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1968[2] and retired from practising architecture in March 1986.
