Michael Manser CBE RA (23 March 1929 – 8 June 2016) was a British architect.
He was a president of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and established his own successful architecture practice in 1961.
[1][2] Born in Bristol, Manser studied architecture at Regent Street Polytechnic, now the University of Westminster.
[4] He was honoured with a CBE in 1993, but declined the honour in 1988 due to the controversy over modern architecture with Prince Charles and an infamous lecture[5] for the 150th anniversary of the RIBA during Manser's presidency of the institute.
[6] In 2001, Architects' Journal inaugurated the annual Manser Medal, named after Michael Manser, to recognise the best completed house in the UK.
