Template:Short description Benson + Forsyth LLP was a British architectural partnership, whose principal architects were Gordon Benson and Alan Forsyth.[1] Their offices were in Islington, London, although they formerly also had a small office in Edinburgh. They were nominated for the Stirling Prize in 1999 and 2002 for the Museum of Scotland[2] and National Gallery of Ireland respectively. Their work is heavily influenced by that of Le Corbusier, but they were also interested in trying to create a more contextual form of modern architecture. The company was dissolved in 2020.[3]
