Roger Westman

Westman attended Latymer Upper School and the Architectural Association School of Architecture.[3][4] At the AA he received the RIBA Howard Colls Travelling Studentship Award in 1959, awarded for best drawings that year.[5][6] Buildings designed by Westman include the Alexandra Theatre, Bognor Regis (1980), the Jerma Palace Hotel, Malta (1982).[7][8][9] He also designed a large number of homes in Hampstead and Hampstead Garden Suburb.[10][11]

Westman began his career at Lambeth council's urban planning department. He worked with Edward Hollamby and Rosemary Stjernstedt on Central Hill Estate.[11]

Westman was one of the first architects to recognise the importance of sustainable architecture, particularly in large-scale building projects.[12] After he published an article on the subject in 1989, sustainable architecture became a popular and important part of late twentieth and twenty first century architecture.[9][1][13]

In 1997, he received the RIBA President's Award for his contributions to British architecture.[1][11]

He gave lectures on sustainable architecture at the AA, Cambridge, Oxford Brookes, and Bath until 1999.[9][14]
