What does it mean to be truly innovative in design today? Alison Brooks is the founder and creative director of London-based practice Alison Brooks Architects, a studio known for delivering innovation in design. Since establishing her studio in 1996, she has become the only architect to have won the United Kingdom’s three most prestigious architecture awards: the Royal Institute of British Architects’ Stirling Prize, the Manser Medal and the Stephen Lawrence Prize.
