ABOUT
Brent has been thinking about architecture and design for over fifty years; from the origins and problems inherent in the Modern Movement and the rarely mentioned role of taste in the evolution of the Modern Movement, to why users sometimes misuse the designs of greater and lesser architects, and the origins of our demand for artistic originality.
His most recent project, The Art of Seeing Buildings, has provided an opportunity to combine his passions in an effort to help us think differently about our surroundings.
