Early life and career
Early life and career
Gough was born in Brighton and grew up in Hove. He attended Uppingham School, Rutland. He studied at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London and qualified in 1971. He co-founded the architectural practice Campbell Zogolovitch Wilkinson and Gough (CZWG), in 1975. While working on his own house in east London in the 1970s, Gough fell through the floor and damaged his spine. The drop was only 10 feet but he was hospitalised for six months and now walks with the aid of a stick. From 2013, he served on the planning committee of the London Legacy Development Corporation.
