Dana Scott Brown has been prolific in architecture and planning, as well as theoretical writing and teaching. In her work, she strives to understand a building or a city in terms of social, economic and cultural perspectives, viewing each as a set of complex systems. Her work brought emerging post-modern ideas to contemporary forms beginning in the mid-1960s. She’s been faculty at Berkeley, UCLA, Yale, and Harvard and her highly regarded firm, Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates, has designed the Seattle Art Museum, a massive wing of London’s National Gallery, San Diego’s Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as numerous buildings across university campuses and municipalities. She has collaborated with Robert Venturi since 1962 as partners in architecture and marriage, though he alone received the prestigious Pritzker Prize in 1991.
