Bartlett alumni infuse numerous large and notable practices with their talent. Ivan Harbour’s contribution to Richard Rogers’ practice, where he was responsible for two Stirling Prizes for Madrid’s Barajas Airport and the Maggie’s Centre at Charing Cross Hospital in London, is now recognised in the practice’s name of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. Patrik Schumacher, the driving force after the founder herself of Zaha Hadid Architects, participated in the Master’s in Architectural History. Leading London practices such as Farrells, Grimshaw, Hopkins, Make, Scott Brownrigg, Sheppard Robson and Wilkinson Eyre, as well as major international firms such as Studio Libeskind, Morphosis, Herzog & de Meuron and Heatherwick Studio, all have, or have had, Bartlett graduates in senior positions. Several Bartlett graduates have developed major masterplans: Jonathan Rose at AECOM has led the masterplanning for the Rio Olympics; Jonathan Kendall at Fletcher Priest did the same for London 2012; and Huw Thomas at Foster + Partners has coordinated the proposal to reboot south-east England’s transport infrastructure with an airport in the Thames estuary. Philip Johnson at Populous, designers of the stadium for the London 2012 Olympic Games and many others, along with both Ray Winkler and Ric Lipson at Stufish, have made significant contributions to architecture for performance and entertainment, with venues and installations. Stufish, founded by the late Mark Fisher, has designed sets for the Beijing Olympics, Rolling Stones, Queen, Madonna, U2 and Pink Floyd. More recent graduates who are rising to the top include: Asif Khan, designer with Pernilla Ohrstedt of the Coca-Cola Beat Box, part of the cultural Olympiad associated with London 2012 (Khan was also shortlisted for the Guggenheim in Helsinki); Thomas Stokke, Scott Grady, Timo Haedrich, three of the four directors of Haptic, a young practice populated with many recent graduates; GilBartolome
