Terry Brown in 1998 at Eden Park in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Terry Brown, an architect with a unique vision and craft-based practice, was killed in a highway accident on June 28 in Rosebud, Texas. He taught at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and practiced from the 3 Horses Ranch near Rosebud, where he had lived and raised Texas longhorns since 2005. He also maintained a practice in Cincinnati, where he resided for more than two decades. He was 53 years old.
Brown earned a B.Arch. from Iowa State University in 1977 and an M.Arch. from Washington University, St. Louis, in 1979. Upon graduating he began a design internship with Aldo Rossi at Peter Eisenman’s Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in Manhattan. He launched his architectural career at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, where he worked for two years before taking a job at Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown in Philadelphia.
He moved to Cincinnati in 1983 to teach at the University of Cincinnati. Later he also taught at Miami University, in nearby Oxford, Ohio. In 1984, he founded a practice with Paul Muller, and then started his own firm, Terry Brown Architects. At first, Brown practiced a rather personal kind of contextual post-modernism. But after a Fulbright Fellowship at the Vienna Academy of Fine Art, in Austria—where, with Professor Otto Graf, he analyzed conceptual pattern relationships between the Viennese Secession movement and the American Prairie School—Brown began to develop a language of his own, drawing on his Midwestern roots." |
