(b London, 17 June 1931). English architect and teacher. He studied at Cambridge University (1951–4), then briefly at the Architectural Association School, London; this was followed by a fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley (1954–6). Cullinan was an admirer of William Morris, and his practice evolved on a co-operative basis. His first major commission (1971) was from the Olivetti Company and led to designs for workshops in Dundee, Belfast, Derby and Carlisle, as well as five further projects, including the two-stage Training Centre Residential Wing at Haslemere, Surrey. Cullinan was also involved in residential architecture, while a number of projects for older people—such as the older people’s flats (1971; with Phil Tabor), Northwood, Middlesex, the Community Care Centre (1983; with Robin Nicolson), Lambeth, London, and the Elderly Persons’ Day Care Centre (1984), Lambeth, London—as well as buildings for the mentally handicapped, brought his practice to prominence in the field of design for social welfare. He also designed various heritage projects: the Minster Lovell Conference Centre (1969) for the Cotswold National Park, which incorporated domestic scale into a public sphere, the successful rebuilding (1982) of St Mary’s Parish Church, Barnes, London, and a Visitors’ Centre (1992), Fountains Abbey, N Yorks. In the latter the cantilevered, curved roof obviates the need for load-bearing walls, providing clear views and creating a distinct visual identity that nevertheless harmonizes with its surroundings at a formal and material level.
