PHILLIP JON BROWN

I received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Southern California in 1965. By this time it was clear to me that urban design was where I wanted to make my contribution. I then took a Masters of Architecture degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (essentially an urban design course) in 1967. After working in and studying Boston, Washington D.C., New York and Philadelphia, I returned from the east coast in 1971. I then completed my apprenticeship time for the architectural license with local architectural firms (DMJM, and Maxwell Starkman). I passed the architectural exam first time around, was licensed in 1973, then set out to open my own office and pursue my design philosophy.
