Norman and Dawbarn

Norman and Dawbarn (styled Norman & Dawbarn, and later, Norman + Dawbarn) was a British architectural and engineering practice, established in 1934.

History

The practice was formed by Graham Dawbarn and Nigel Norman in 1934. The practice was preceded by Norman, Muntz & Dawbarn, formed with Alan Muntz.

In 2005 the practice was acquired by Capita Symonds following the collapse into administration.[1] It traded as a subsidiary Capita Norman + Dawbarn until it was merged into Capita Architecture in 2007,[2] though the name continues to be used in some international markets.

gollark: Democratic ones theoretically allow more input from everyone, which should lead to decisions which consider their interests more and take into account information people know, but also run into whatever issues existing democracies have plus probably exciting new ones due to presumably having a direct democracy voting on a lot of things.
