Guardian WWW site, viewed Jan. 12, 2018 (Neave Brown; Neave Sinclair Brown, architect, born 22 May 1929, Utica, N.Y.; died 9 January 2018; educated in the US (at Bronxville high school, New York, 1939-45) and the UK (Marlborough college, 1945-48) and won a place at Oxford University to read English; but while doing his military service he decided to switch to architecture and applied to the Architectural Association, where he studied from 1950 until 1956; after graduating, he worked for three years at Lyons Israel Ellis--the pre-eminent training ground at the time in London for high-flying young architects--and then for a short time for Middlesex county council, before setting up his own practice, which he combined with teaching in the UK (at the AA and Cambridge University) and the US (Cornell University); the Eindhoven project, the Medina, completed in 2002, was his final project and also, to many, his final masterwork; after it was finished, he had a change of direction and did what he had planned to do as a schoolboy--study for a fine art degree (at the City & Guilds of London Art School) and work as an artist)
