Adare Brown

Visiting Lecturer in Architecture

Adare Brown is a designer and educator focused on building culture and big housing projects. They are a co-director of as-such, an architecture and research practice. Currently they are completing research on the INA-Casa program for the Steedman Fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis and organizing with The Architecture Lobby’s GND Working Group.

At Bard, Adare teaches studio-intensives that explore the design, construction, and maintenance of the built environment through skill-based course work. Architecture as Media: Working Drawings studies how technical construction drawings manifest desires for environmental control at the building site and beyond. Architecture as Translation: The Real Possible uses architectural rendering to investigate how speculative architectural images condition real lives and livelihoods.

Their previous work has included construction administration and project management for community housing organizations at STAT and at Outside Development, researching the role of urban form in the climate crisis. Adare holds a Masters in Architecture from Yale University and dual Bachelor’s degrees in Fine Arts and Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis.
