Wonder what all those Tiger cub architects are going to do now.<br />
Strange that a self professed socialist seemed shocked to be thrown out of the professional club<br />
when he challenged its power structures.<br />

<br />
Brian has been a friend for some 25 years, his thinking, writing and actions have influenced me greatly. He combines a considerable intellect with a deeply felt social conscience. his opinions about contemporary issues such as the suffering of the neglected sections of society, about life in cities and the function and form of architecture are extremely pertinent.<br />
<br />
As a community leader in Belfast, Covent garden and Hoxton he has worked to improve the environment of the disadvantaged. when Mark Fischer and i were writing our book entitled “A New London”, we asked Brian to advise us.<br />
<br />
Now he lives in France where he thinks and writes. We correspond regularly and he never lets me forget that there is another world, a much more important world than the world i usually serve. <br />
<br />
I can not recommend Brian more highly other than to say that he is one of the very few people who is passionately concerned and has a deep understanding about the state of contemporary society and most rare he knows how to communicate this to others<br />
<br />
Brian, like a few other unique people I have had the good fortune to know, has a touch of genius, I hope you will give him the chance to communicate this.<br />

Thank you so much for the kind and uplifting words for Brian.
My fat...Dear All,<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for the kind and uplifting words for Brian.<br />
<br />
My father was a remarkable man. I possibly did not see it as much as his comrades throughout the world, as I remained always his tear-away son.<br />
<br />
Often I said to Pop, 'You are my father, my teacher and a friend'<br />
<br />
I miss him dearly but know, fullwell, the hills will resound with laments at his passing and ever the people he loved will remember him.<br />
<br />
Go raibh mille maith agat!!!!<br />

<br />
Small in stature, but wiry, resilient and endowed with talents that grew over time, Brian was a wonderful wordsmith, a considerable artist, a beautiful draughtsman and a true raconteur and revolutionary.<br />
