Architects' Co-Partnership
The Architects' Co-Partnership (ACP) was a firm of English architects, founded in 1939 as the Architects' Cooperative Partnership by recent graduates of the Architectural Association School of Architecture.[1][2][3] It encouraged teamwork, and set out to be a practice in which all members would be equal.[1][2]
The firm filed for insolvency in 2014, and finally dissolved in 2018.[4]
