Profile

Prof. Brody is a licensed architect in Massachusetts, and a member of the American Institute of Architects and the Boston Society of Architects. His private practice is focused on small scale residential projects.

Teaching philosophy: Designers in training must learn the full breadth and width of the body of architectural knowledge, and the wide range of skills needed to create, explore, and communicate those creations. Nothing is more rewarding for me as an instructor than when a student’s research, concepts, and aesthetics come together and form a unique and bold vision for a project. Good architecture is a gift of beauty and order in the built environment.
