Allison Anderson FAIA is the founding principal of unabridged Architecture, a small firm with a diverse range of project types and scales. She is recognized for civic projects which are carefully crafted, inherently defensible against climate challenges, and respond with a deep understanding of the importance of place and tradition within the context of modern design. Allison was the first LEED-Accredited Professional in Mississippi, focusing on sustainability. After Hurricane Katrina devastated her community, unabridged Architecture began exploring adaptation for resilience and climate change. Her research on adaptation is included in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia, the AIA Resilient Project Process Guide, AIA Climate Action Playbook, and the AIA Framework for Design Excellence. Allison has taught architecture at the University of Texas, Tulane University, and Louisiana State University. She is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.
