Rock was responsible for BDP London during the 1960s, becoming an Equity Partner in 1964; he resigned in 1971. Rock went into partnership with John Townsend, an expert on bürolandschaft. In 1972, Rock Townsend opened, what would become, Workspace, which further developed the idea of multidisciplinary working by providing office space for small design businesses. Rock was a supporter of the radical architecture group Archigram in the 1960s and 1970s. He nominated them for the RIBA Royal Gold Medal which they received in 2002. (en)
