Benson & Forsyth
Benson & Forsyth is a British architectural partnership, whose principal architects are Gordon Benson and Alan Forsyth.[1] Their offices are in Islington, London, although they formerly also had a small office in Edinburgh. They were nominated for the Stirling Prize in 1999 and 2002 for the Museum of Scotland[2] and National Gallery of Ireland respectively. Their work is heavily influenced by that of Le Corbusier, but they are also interested in trying to create a more contextual form of modern architecture.
