Cullinan founded his own practice in 1959. The employee-owned business, Cullinan Studio (formerly Edward Cullinan Architects), was founded in 1965.[4] Notable projects include the Charles Cryer Theatre, Carshalton (completed in 1991),[5] the Fountains Abbey Visitor Centre (completed 1992), the Centre for Mathematical Sciences (Cambridge) (completed 2003), the Weald and Downland Gridshell (2002, nominated for the Stirling Prize) and the new library at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge (opened 2010).

Cullinan was a visiting Professor at the University of Nottingham, and was awarded four other professorships at The Bartlett (1978–9), Sheffield University (1985–87), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1985), and the University of Edinburgh (1987–90).

In 2008, Cullinan was awarded the Royal Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects. [4]

National Life Stories conducted an oral history interview (C467/93) with Edward Cullinan in 2010 for its Architects Lives' collection held by the British Library.[6]

Cullinan married Rosalind Yeates in 1961, and the couple built their own house in Camden Mews, London, by hand. They had three children: Emma, Kate and Tom.[2]

gollark: That reminds me. Don't star this message. This isn't some sort of reverse psychology trick where I try and get you to star it by saying not to. Just don't. Seriously. There's no good reason to star this message, so you shouldn't star it. Simple.
