In his obituary, published in the Guardian in October 2001, Richard Seifert was described as a, "Workaholic architect whose tall towers changed the urban skyline of Britain and Europe."  It went on to add that, "During 50 years in practice - an achievement celebrated, in 1984, with an exhibition by the Royal Institute of British Architects - Seifert built more London buildings than Sir Christopher Wren, and undeniably had as great an effect upon the city skyline.
