Alan Pert – you should try suing them if you're so original.

Yes this is very confusing for everyone. NORD Architects were formed in 2000 as a research group at a university in Glasgow, Scotland. In 2002 Alan Pert and Robin Lee registered and formed the practice as the Northern Office for Research & Design (NORD) as we were based in the 'North'! The similarities of the name and the acronym is making life for many people especially journalists very confusing. While we very open minded and democratic in our approach to life we do think it very disappointing that the name has been so obviously copied without any imagination being used. Some originality PLEASE!!

Nord is simply the word for “north” in the scandinavian languages. Not too surprising to have a few of those.
