140 Years of Wilson Architects

In celebration of our remarkable 140-year legacy, we proudly present Genius Loci. This book chronicles the evolution of WilsonArchitects since its founding by A.B. Wilson in 1884. The book traces the firm’s journey through pivotal moments in history, including the war years. Genius Loci also reflects on the incorporation of landscape architecture into our design philosophy in the 1960s. This was a transformative shift that remains central to our approach today. Genius Loci offers a reflective and inspiring look at the past while showcasing the innovative spirit that continues to shape our work today.
