We are extremely sorry to report that AA Past President Gerald Levin has passed away aged 86 after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Gerald Levin joined the AA as a Member in 1958, having arrived in London from Cape Town at the age of 24. He was a founding partner of RHWL in the 1960s, a practice that became synonymous with arts and theatre projects, responsible for designs such as the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham (1982) and Saddler’s Wells in London (1998). Gerald was in charge of some of the practice’s housing projects including the acclaimed Earlstoke Estate in Islington (1972-76). After retiring from RHWL, he set up Gerald Levin Associates and continued to work on private residential projects until very recently. He served on AA Council for 10 years, including two years as AA President (1985-87). He became an AA Life Member in 2009.
