Background

Hodder started his architectural education in 1975,[4] graduated from Manchester University in 1982 and joined Building Design Partnership but left after a year and set his own firm up after he was offered a project by a family member. Initially named Hodder Lees Partnership, later Hodder Sanderson, the practice became Hodder Associates in 1992.[5]

One of his first jobs came after he won a competition to build Lytham St Annes station.

He joined the teaching staff at the Manchester School of Architecture. In 2011, he chaired the Professional Advisory Board at the School.[2]

Awards

In 1991, Hodder won the Royal Fine Art Commission/Sunday Times Building of the Year Award for his design of Colne swimming pool in Lancashire in the first year that his practice opened.[6]

In 1995, Hodder Associates won the Grand Prize at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition and in 1996 he was awarded the RIBA Stirling Prize for the Centenary Building, University of Salford.[7]

Hodder was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1998 for services to architecture.[2]

He was awarded an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Arts by Manchester Metropolitan University in 2006 in recognition of his distinguished contribution to architecture locally, nationally and internationally.[8]
