Fletcher Priest - the first 20 years
Article Abstract:
Fletcher Priest Architects (FPA) has developed into a strong and versatile practice in its first 20 years. Founders Michael Fletcher and Keith Priest developed their broad view of architecture as students at the AA. The practice has taken advantage of learning opportunities as they arose, and developed a reputation for their work on entertainment centres and on corporate interiors, a notable example being the PowerGen headquarters near Coventry, England. FPA has done work for IBM and it has won the prestigious commission to design Vodafone's corporate headquarters in Newbury, England.
