A London based architecture and urbanism design office with a mission to create better places for people to inhabit that are inclusive, engaging and meaningful. Richard established Brown Urbanism as research platform back in 2012 whilst living, working and studying in Hackney Wick & Fish Island, East London. In East London, Richard found inspiration in the intimate semi public spaces of the factory complexes where communities thrived in creating new vibrant neighbourhoods from the inside out. Richard is fascinated with the way in which places are made, and how change is affected by affordability, local identity and heritage. The formation of mixed use neighbourhoods and semi public space has been the constant subject of Richard’s research and has informed the direction and approach of his practice. Richards services include architectural design, quantitative and anecdotal urban research, community engagement and project management.
