Contexts: The Work of Hodder + Partners brings together contributions from architectural writers, academics and journalists to review the buildings, culture and philosophy of Hodder Associates (now Hodder + Partners), founded in 1992. Including high-quality colour images of both the practice's own work and the influences on it, this book will follow the themes of placemaking, humanisation, the influence of Arne Jacobsen and the essence of 'northerness' to place the practice's influence in context. 

  • A vital contribution to the history of one the UK's most important architectural practices, Hodder + Partners
  • Includes essays from high-profile architectural writers, including Hugh Pearman, Laura Mark, Rob Gregory and Tony Chapman
  • Showcases the key themes and culture of Hodder + Partners  that have influenced 21st century architecture
  • Features high-quality colour images of key projects such as the practice's work at St Catherine's College, Oxford


  • Stephen Hodder OBE is a preeminent English architect, former president of the RIBA (2013-2015), who won the first ever Stirling Prize in 1996 for designing the Centenary Building at the University of Salford.
    He has been in practice since 1983 and formed Hodder Associates in 1992, which went on to become Hodder + Partners. The firm would win the Royal Fine Art Commission / Sunday Times Building of the Year Award for Colne Swimming Pool in Lancashire in their first year. Shortly afterwards Stepen won a limited competition to extend Arne Jacobsen’s Grade I Listed St Catherine’s College in Oxford and established a client relationship which has now extended for some 20 years.
