AL_A, formerly known as Amanda Levete Architects, is a London-based practice formed in 2009 by Stirling Prize-winning architect Amanda Levete.

Practice

AL_A was formed in 2009 following the end of Levete's 20-year partnership with the late Jan Kaplický at Future Systems, where the partnership had completed several internationally recognised buildings including Selfridges' store in Birmingham and the Stirling Prize-winning media centre at Lord's cricket ground.

Levete's new company has won a number of important projects and competitions, based on her creative and collaborative approach to architecture.
