Bryan Robert Avery MBE RIBA (2 January 1944 – 4 July 2017)[3] was an English architect, born in Wallingford, Berkshire.[4][5] After his childhood years spent in Lymington in the New Forest, Hampshire, he studied architecture at Leicester College of Art (now the De Montfort University), followed by an MA in the History and Theory of Architecture at Essex University under Professors Joseph Rykwert and Dalibor Vesely.[6]

He established his own practice Avery Associates Architects in 1976. The practice has built a wide range of projects ranging from theatres and museums to offices and educational buildings, many of which have won respected awards.[7]

He published a book, Fragments of Wilderness City (ISBN 9781904772583) in 2011 which describes his work and theory.[8]
