Brief Biographical Notes
Bernard Brown has spent a lifetime as a practicing professional architect in which he has created one or two interesting works. At the same time he has read casually and haphazardly in ethics, philosophy of the mind, cosmology and the novels of Iris Murdoch, Patrick White, Sartre, Camus, Philip Roth, Jeanette Winterson, Proust, Dostoevsky, and all the rest. In 2005 he abandoned these dilettantish practices and completed a PhD at the University of Melbourne. His dissertation took up the themes of his dilettantish readings and quotidian experiences, supplemented them and subjected them to a rigorous scholarly investigation.
His current project goes under the working title "Architecture Without Principles in a Time of Ecological Crisis".
