In this viewpoint, I tell the story of Terry Farrell & Partners' TV-AM building (1981-83), a maverick television studios near Camden Lock. The TV-AM building, which - as the name suggests - was home to one Britain's first breakfast television programmes, is associated with the architectural style of postmodernism and with colour in architecture and interior design. The building was substantially refurbished by architects Jacobs Webber in 2012-13 and is now home to Viacom International.
