Roger Stephenson OBE has withdrawn from the front line of Manchester architecture, from a position and cause he has been fighting for in his own name since 1979. He has made enemies and lost battles, but few would deny that Roger Stephenson OBE has had a greater impact on the shape and face of contemporary Manchester than any individual since Alfred Waterhouse. If Manchester has a look, it came out of the Stephenson closet. He was awarded a First Class Honours degree by Liverpool University School of Architecture in 1969. Stephenson is a progressive, and he moved through BDP and Michael Hyde & Associates (as a partner) before establishing Stephenson Mills (with George Mills) in 1979.
