Bio Notes: Ian Henry Dodd was born in Scotland on 21 May 1935. He studied architecture at Edinburgh College of Art, taking the full-time course from September 1954. He was awarded a travelling scholarship while he was a student and visited Holland, Belgium and Germany. During his 'year out' he worked as assistant in the practice of Gordon & Dey, when he was described as 'capable and energetic'. He sat the final exam in June 1959 and the professional practice in November 1960. He was elected ARIBA in 1961, hsi propsers being William Gordon Dey, Esme Gordon and E A S Houfe. During late 1960 and until August the following he had a position as assistant with Dodds & White in London.

In September of that same year, 1961, he joined the practice of Matthews Ryan & Simpson as an assistant. Two years later he was promoted to the position of senior assistant and as such he was in charge of design for a group within the practice. He moved to a similar position in Llewlyn Smith & Waters in June 1965. Llewlyn Smith & Waters was a largely industrial practice and Dodd's role was to develop and integrate a design group within this practice, as well as to stabilise and maintain consistent standards of design and to control design throughout the duration of a job. In 1966 he became a Design Associate and Design Partner in 1969. He handled a wide variety of work from private houses to £3 million industrial projects. He was responsible as Design Partner for the intial design of all work handled by the practice and also the control of design during the preparation of production drawings fro interior design, selection of furniture and colour schemes.

He was elected FRIBA in 1970, proposed by A B Waters, W F Howard and E D Jefferiss Mathews. By 1981 the practice Llewlyn Smith & Waters became the Waters Jamieson Partnership. It is not yet clear if he returned to Scotland to work. By this date Dodd had a further qualification from Heriot-Watt and was MSAI. Subsequently the practice changed again to become the Dodd Jamieson Partnership. The address in London continued as before.

Dodd died in Kingston upon Thames in September 2002.
