Wright & Wright Architects is a British architectural firm, founded in 1994 by Sandy and Clare Wright MBE.[1] The firm is based in Camden Town, London.[2]

Background

The Royal College of Art Library, London

The practice was founded by Sandy and Clare Wright in 1994.[3] Since winning a competition in 1995 to design the Royal College of Art's library in central London, Wright & Wright have undertaken projects for higher education and culture, including a new library and study centre for St John's College, Oxford, the Longwall Library for Magdalen College, Oxford, and the Women's Library[4] in London. Through this work, the practice has delivered projects for institutions such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Gallery,[5] the Church of England (a library and archive at Lambeth Palace)[6] and the Museum of the Home in London.[7][8]

Research

Wright and Wright Architects have also worked in fields of research, including design for the elderly, the disabled, and those with special educational needs.[9][10]
