Architects' Co-Partnership

The Architects' Co-Partnership (ACP) was a firm of English architects, founded in 1939 as the Architects' Cooperative Partnership by recent graduates of the Architectural Association School of Architecture. It encouraged teamwork, and set out to be a practice in which all members would be equal.

The firm filed for insolvency in 2014, and finally dissolved in 2018.
