Jonathan Gwyn Adams[2]RIBA FLSW[1] Bristol, England, July 1961[2]) is a Welsh architect particularly known for his landmark buildings in Cardiff.
[7] Adams joined Percy Thomas Architects and began work on the £106 million Wales Millennium Centre project in Cardiff Bay, which opened in November 2004 and for which he is best known.
[8] Adams says the design was inspired by the architect of Cardiff Castle, William Burges[9] and the layered cliffs of the South Wales coast.
[16] In February 2010 Adams' new headquarters building for the Welsh Joint Education Committee (WJEC) was opened.
It received criticism from the Wales branch of the Victorian Society, which likened it to an "upturned sandcastle".
