LONDON, December 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Alison Brooks named UK's best architect Olympic architects also honoured at ceremony in London Housing design specialist ABA, the business founded by Canadian-born architect Alison Brooks, has been named the UK's best architecture practice at the Architect of the Year Awards in London. The judges deemed Brooks' contribution to housing design particularly worthy of celebration at a time when housing delivery in the UK had dropped to its lowest levels since the 1920's. Brooks said it was an award shared by every "unsung" housing architect who has been quietly fighting for good design to prevail. Other award winners at the awards ceremony on Tuesday included the architects of the Olympic Eton Manor venue, Stanton Williams, and the architect behind the ground-breaking design of the Halley IV Antarctic Research Station for the British Antarctic Survey, Hugh Broughton.
