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.[1][2]
