Sam Brown

I am an ARB-registered Architect with a wide range of practice experience in the UK and abroad. Prior to joining the SSoA, I have held Senior Architect and Associate positions at a number of small practices and worked in multi-disciplinary teams on larger projects.

I have also taught Architecture at various levels in a number of Schools of Architecture in the UK and internationally – and carried out industry-based research projects for national bodies in my specialist field of community-led housing and self-build projects.

I love to travel and to learn on the go - and I have a deep-seated passion for the exchange of knowledge and experience. My most rewarding life experiences have come from travelling and collaboration - both within and outside of the UK. I learn best by doing – and this heavily influences my teaching practice.

At the SSoA, I lead the Live Projects programme across both years of the MArch Architecture course and the MA Architectural Design course. I also co-direct the Collaborative Practice route to the MArch qualification – and I am involved in the teaching of environment and technology at both Undergraduate and MArch level.

I am also an accredited Community Led Housing Adviser working with enabling hubs in London and the West Midlands.
