Wilson Architects is one of Australia's oldest continuous architectural practices. The firm specialises in the design of educational and laboratory facilities and the integration of landscape with architecture is a key feature of the firm's designs. The current managing director of Wilson Architects is Hamilton B. Wilson, great grandson of the firm's founder, Alex B. Wilson.

Alexander Brown Wilson was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1857. In 1864 his family emigrated to Brisbane. He established his own architectural practice in Brisbane in 1884, and was joined by his architect- engineer son, Ronald Martin Wilson in 1920. After Alexander Wilson's retirement in 1928, Ronald Wilson continued the practice until 1955. He in turn was joined by his son, Blair M. Wilson, who had graduated from the University of Queensland. The Wilson firm is continued by Alexander Wilson's great-grandson, Hamilton Blair Wilson.
