Neven joined Grimshaw Architects in 1981 and has played a key part in the development and growth of the practice over the subsequent 43 years. He became a director in 1994 and a Partner when it was restructured as an LLP in 2007. His primary interest has always been winning, organising, designing and delivering large projects. These include 18 major schemes, five of them international. While he has lectured extensively, written numerous reviews for architectural magazines, and chaired RIBA Awards juries, he likes to devote as much of his time as he can to all aspects and stages of design.
