His just-published book, Lost Providence, is about the dynamic history of architectural change and urban planning in the city of Providence. Mr. Brusset is the former architectural columnist for the Providence Journal and his blog, Architecture Here and There, features daily posts advocating principles of design, urban planning, and traditional architecture.
Brussat won an Arthur Ross award for his writing from the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art in 2002 and has served on the board of its New England chapter since 2005. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts, in London. He was born in Chicago, grew up in the District of Columbia, moved to Providence in 1984, and lives with his wife, son and cat on the city’s East Side.
