Brian Shawcroft

A few minutes in Brian's company made any day better. Words such as Humorous, Highly Intelligent, Extensively Experienced, Friendly, and Competent were never more applicable to anyone you could meet, than to Brian.

You are everywhere and at anytime remembering you, today, and forever. I.S.C.

I was at Meymandi Hall last night and thought about Brian and discussions we had had when it was refurbished. I used to run into him at the Art Museum every year during the patrons evening and noticed I didnt this year. I looked him up and discovered his obituary. Im so sorry to hear of his passing. Rest In Peace

Well Damn. I'm truly saddened that I will never get a chance to see Brian again. What great stories. What great memories. What a great influence he was!

Brian was a big help and warm supporter when I wrote my dissertation on Henry Kamphoefner and the N.C. School of Design. I will never forget his kindness and multifaceted intellect. He was a living cultural landmark.

He was such a hoot - he would always make me laugh. I'll miss him.

I've lost my chance to see him again. Now I revive memories of his visits without his help. He was a good friend of my parents, and made wonderful shop talk with my father, Roy Gussow.

There's so much to say about Brian.....he was my teacher, mentor, colleague and friend, not to mention former neighbor-around-the-corner. My best memory of him is of the time between my 4th and 5th year of design school when I was given an exchange fellowship to London. On the evening after we fellows had arrived, there was a big party with the British students at the Architectural Association School on Bedford Square. To my surprse, in walked Brian, who had come over for the summer to visit...
