John Brown Architect
John Brown is a registered architect in Alberta specializing in residential architecture, age-in-community design, and innovative forms of professional practice. He is also a Professor of Architecture and Dean of the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape at the University of Calgary, Canada.
He is a registered architect and founding Principal of Housebrand, an active residential design/build practice. His recently completed PhD through the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology explored new and more relevant ways to design and build houses for an aging population. Dr. Brown’s work benefits from an interdisciplinary methodology that brings together research and researchers in architecture, medicine, nursing, bio-medical engineering, and computer science. This holistic approach spans creative design practice and rigorous evidence-based testing to develop new strategies for individuals to live well, and independently, as they age.
