Synopses & Reviews
This is the first full monograph of one of the most influential architectural firms to have emerged in Britain in the past two decades. Following their victory in their very first competition, Allies & Morrison have gone on to design some of the most admired projects of the past 20 years, including the British embassy in Dublin, the University of Cambridge Sidgwick campus, and Arsenal stadium. In this full study their buildings and projects are documented by drawings, photos, and essays by critics, with comments by Bob Allies and Graham Morrison themselves.
