Richard Bowman

Position: Associate

Management Team

Richard joined Associated Architects’ Leeds office in January 2018 and was made an Associate in 2021

He undertook his Part I and Part II architectural education at the Manchester School of Architecture, completing his Part III with RIBA North West.

Richard has completed projects in a variety of sectors including higher education, residential, and workplace, incorporating new build and refurbishment projects which includes within listed buildings.

Recently he has led the delivery of the University of Bolton Institute of Medical Sciences and a refurbishment within the Grade II listed Clothworkers Building at the University of Leeds for the Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour. Due to the nature of their work, the LITAC staff had strong views on the interior design, therefore Richard ensured it complimented the brand identity of the Institute and reflects the research pillars of the Institute, through the variety of materials, colour, lighting, and textures. With a former practice Richard gained experience in the residential, leisure and mixed-use sectors on projects across the country.
He has recently led our involvement in a Pro Bono project with the charity Rethink Mental Illness and contractor ISG as part of our work on Heath Primary.
