AL_A, formerly known as Amanda Levete Architects, is a London-based architecture practice formed in 2009 by Stirling Prize-winning architect Amanda Levete.
History
AL_A was established in 2009, following the end of Levete's 20-year partnership with the late Jan Kaplický at Future Systems. The partnership had completed several internationally recognized buildings, including Selfridges' store in Birmingham and the Stirling Prize-winning media centre at Lord's Cricket Ground.
