Dr. B. Hanson

Brian Hanson has advised HRH The Prince of Wales on architecture and urbanism since 1988. He is a Senior Fellow of The Prince’s Foundation. In his Architects and the 'building world’ from Chambers to Ruskin: constructing authority (Cambridge University Press, 2003) he traced how and why the practical form- and structure-making abilities of building artisans have given way to the intellectual pretensions of designers. He also teaches at Birkbeck, University of London.
