INFORMATION
Alison (1928–1993) and Peter Smithson (1923–2003) were British architects who formed an architectural partnership. They are considered key representatives of New Brutalism, particularly in architectural and urban theory.
The two met while studying architecture at Durham University and married in 1949. They initially worked for the architecture department of the London County Council before establishing their own practice in 1950.
