Architects'Co-Partnership

English architectural practice founded in London in 1939 as the Architects' Co-Operative Partnership (ACP). It originally consisted of 11 members from the Architectural Association who wished to work without office hierarchies and on projects of a predominantly social character. They were influenced by the methods and organization of Tecton in Britain and GATEPAC in Spain, while their attitudes paralleled those of their American contemporaries, TAC. Kenneth Capon (b 1915), Peter Cocke (b 1917), Michael Cooke-Yarborough (b 1915), Anthony Cox (b 1915), Michael Grice (b 1917), A. W. Nicol, Anthony Pott, Michael Powers (1915-94), Greville Rhodes (b 1916), Leo de Syllas (1917-64) and John Wheeler were the original partners. World War II and its aftermath reduced this to eight.
