John Simpson and Partners Architects profiles one of Britain's most distinguished architectural practices. Well-known for being one of the few modern-day architects designing in the classical style, John Simpson's work has established a worldwide reputation, with major clients including the Royal Household at Buckingham Palace, Their Majesties the late King Hussein and Queen Noor of Jordan, the Mitsubishi Estate in Tokyo, Japan, and Park Tower Realty in New York. Founded in 1980, the practice has worked on a wide variety of projects, which have included public, educational, commercial and residential buildings. This book looks at how the practice has maintained its diverse and innovative approach to architectural design, and how it has built up an expertise in dealing with large-scale masterplans both within sensitive urban locations and on green field sites. John Simpson and Partners Architects is the definitive book on this acclaimed architectural practice, most recently recognised with the 2008 Arthur Ross Award from the Institute of Classical Architecture in New York, the 2007 Palladio Award and the 2007 Carnegie Hill Neighbors' Award for Architectural Excellence. 70 colour sb/w illustrations
