Richard Rogers signs off groundbreaking career with gravity-defying Château La Coste pavilion Richard Rogers signs off groundbreaking career with gravity-defying Château La Coste pavilion Thrusting from the landscape in its cantilevered steel frame, Richard Rogers’ recently completed Drawing Gallery at Château La Coste in Provence will show temporary exhibitions Last September, when Richard Rogers stepped down from the architectural practice that he founded more than 40 years ago, he still had one personal project underway. Now, the last building of Rogers’ long and distinguished career, the new Drawing Gallery at Château La Coste in Provence, is complete. It’s tiny, but spectacular. Vivid orange and hovering, apparently weightless, the building cantilevers out of a thickly wooded ridge too steep for planting the vines that grow in neat rows on either side.
