Brent Miller :: Master of Architecture

Brent Miller is a Master of Architecture candidate currently in thesis. He was born and raised in the wine-growing region of Napa, California. He has an undergraduate degree in Geography from Brigham Young University, Provo, UT.

Brent served for two years in Mexico as a volunteer representative for the Church of Jesus of Latter-Day Saints, teaching and serving local residents. His degree in Geography and varied travels as a golf professional have widened his perception of the earth and its diversity of place and people. This background has shaped the lens through which he sees architecture and fueled his desire to design for the human form and its distinct vernacular.

Thesis Case Study

Brent has always had a passion for making as the built world inspires him.
  When he found the gap in life to pursue architecture, he snatched it. Brent was also a Division I, 4-Time All-American in Golf and played 2 years on the PGA Tour. He currently works at Meyer & Meyer Architects in Boston.

Thesis Case Study

Recently winning the Adeline Graves Fournier Sketch Prize, Brent says he loves the tactile act of putting pencil to paper and getting an award for that was a bonus. He considers the most beautiful things in his life to be his wife and two children.
