About Us
Sir Peter Cook is a pivotal figure within the global architecture world. With his team of architects and innovators, he continues to make waves with visionary architecture built around the world.
Professor Sir Peter Cook RA, founder of Archigram, former Director the Institute for Contemporary Art, London (the ICA) and Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London has been a dominate figure in the architectural world for over half a century. His ongoing contribution to architectural innovation was recognised in 2007 when he was knighted by the Queen for his services to architecture. Cook’s achievements with radical experimentalist group Archigram have been the subject of numerous publications and public exhibitions and were recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2002, when members of the group were awarded the RIBA’s highest award, the Royal Gold Medal.
Cook continuing work as a lecturer of considerable renown makes him a familiar voice within cultural institutions around the world, where many have enjoyed an opportunity to hear Cook expound (among other subjects) upon his love affair with the slithering, the swarming and the spooky.
Cook and his studio has from the very beginning made waves in architectural circles. However, it was with the construction of the Kunsthaus Museum in Graz, Austria that his work was brought to a wider public. A process that continued with the completion of the Vienna Business and Economics University’s Departments of Law and Central Administration Buildings and the Abedian School of Architecture in Australia’s Bond University. The Drawing Studio for Arts University Bournemouth was his first UK building completed in 2016 and followed soon after with the Innovation Studio for the same campus. He also has built in Osaka, Nagoya, Berlin, Frankfurt and Madrid.
Peter Cook Architecture Studio are currently working on projects in LA, South Korea and the Middle East.
