Architect Brian Healy's office was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1985. During that time, the work produced by the office has received over fifty local, regional, and national design awards. Brian has taught architectural design studios and seminars for the past thirty years at colleges and universities across North America (including here at SAID), and he was Design Director at Perkins + Will from 2011-2014. “In his work, Healy endeavors to seek the essence of his discipline, architecture, as defined by its place and time—an American architecture, born of the commonplace and the vernacular, yet at the same time engaging the great works of our modern predecessors.”
