Associated Architects

The practice was formed by Malcolm Booth, Richard Slawson and Walter Thomson, who met as teachers at the Birmingham School of Architecture in the 1960s.

At that time the School undertook live projects and the founders were encouraged to set up a part-time practice, employing students to undertake the work with appropriate management.

The early workload of housing, industrial buildings and offices expanded and the practice relocated in 1976 to St. Paul's Square,[1] which it used as a base for the regeneration of the Jewellery Quarter.

It won its first RIBA Awards and with the Property Services Agency undertook commissions for Law Courts at Stafford and Worcester, opening a Cyprus office to deliver projects for the Ministry of Defence.

Warren Jukes and Adam Wardle joined in 1996 and with Matthew Goer and Ian Standing became directors of the Limited Liability Partnership in 2003.

Associated Architects' Birmingham Offices are located in The Mailbox , which was designed by the practice
