Clients should seriously consider selecting a qualified competition adviser before initiating even the planning stages of a competition. This usually helps clients avoid many of the pitfalls and surprises which can occur during that process. One may assume, with full participation of a competition adviser, that an efficiently administered competition will lead to a satisfactory conclusion.

This is by no means a complete list of architects who have served as competition advisors. However, it does include many of those who have administered competitions which have resulted in real projects being built.

In the late 1970s and into the 1980s Brown worked with the Design Arts Program of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and assisted in the rebirth of competitions in America. He was instrumental in promoting the use of design competitions by civic and institutional sponsors around the country. He served on panels, delivered papers, and lectured on the benefits of the competitive process. He provided guidance and consulted on the production of the NEA publications “Design Competition Manual I”, “Manual II: On-Site Charrettes”, and “Manual III: A Guide for Sponsors” as well manual 4, Learning From Abroad.

His experience in competition development served him well when he researched and wrote the guidelines for the Presidential Design Awards Program, the first national recognition for design in America.

He recently lectured on memorial competitions at both national and regional meetings of the AIA and this November spoke on a panel with memorial competition architects Daniel Libeskind, HG Merz Berlin, and Metroplois Magazine editor Susan Seznasy.
