ALISON BROOKS 'I CAN FEEL A MAJOR SHIFT TAKING PLACE'

摘要

It has been quite a year for Alison Brooks, founder of Alison Brooks Architects (ABA), who won last year's AJ Woman Architect of the Year award, followed by a place on the six-strong RIBA Stirling Prize shortlist for her 84-unit housing development, Newhall Be. 'Peer review is the toughest test for any architect,' says Brooks on receiving the honour at the awards luncheon at the Langham Hotel. 'It was wonderful to see and hear that level of support.' Brooks says she believes the AJ Women in Architecture awards encourage younger women to make their mark and have a voice. 'I can feel a major shift taking place and the AJ's campaign is definitely part of that,' she says.
