Kerry Hill (well-known hotel architect) deceased, age 75

The world has lost an architecture giant; Aman will be especially hurt.

Amansara, Amannusa, Amankora, Amangalla, Amanwella,Amanemu, Aman SP, Aman Tokyo, Amanyangyun to name a some. Does anyone have a complete list?

Was just about to post that - iconic hotel designer.

Aman Delhi/Lodhi (original) was him. As is Datai Langkawi I believe.

@FlyingDoctorwu - I think Amansara is Jean Michel Gathy by the way.

Such a sad day. He will be missed but his legacy will live on in his various monuments around the world.

I hope many young architects study his work.

It is indeed Kerry Hill. Weird - for some reason I always thought it was Jean-Michel Gathy.
