Ivan began his career on Lloyd’s of London in 1985. He was made a director in 1993 and in 2007 the name of the practice was changed from Richard Rogers Partnership in recognition of Ivan and Graham Stirk’s contribution.

Two of Ivan’s projects - Maggie’s London (2009) and T4 Madrid Airport (2006) have won the prestigious Stirling Prize. His current projects include: Y:Cube, self-contained and affordable starter accommodation for young people and a masterplan for The International Quarter, a new city in East London.
