Jeffrey Howlett
Jeffrey Howlett (1928–2005) was a Western Australian modernist architect. Howlett was born in India, but later traveled to London for his studies and then moved to Perth, Australia for training to become an architect. Throughout his life, he won various competitions with his partner Donald Bailey. Howlett acknowledged the reality of late-twentieth-century cities and, through his architecture, suggested a way of making sense of the disorder. He was a founding partner of Howlett and Bailey Architects, along with Bailey, which designed a number of Australian landmarks such as Council House and the Perth Concert Hall.
==Biography==
Howlett was born in, and spent his early life in Hyderabad, India. In 1945, he accepted a scholarship to the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. After five years Howlett completed his diploma and worked at the London County Council under the direction of Sir Leslie Martin for a year before returning to India to marry. He moved, along with his family to Perth. While in Perth, Howlett started working with several local practices before relocating to Melbourne. He was granted a position as senior design Architect with the architectural firm of Bates Smart. While in Melbourne, Howlett, together with Donald Bailey, won the Australia-Wide competition for the design of the new Perth City Council administration buildings. This brought him back to Perth where he would stay for the remainder of his life. Later, Howlett And Bailey won "The Public Suite", a competition for a series of performance halls.
In 1993, Howlett survived a major stroke. The stroke caused him serious damage making him unable to continue practicing as an architect though he eventually learned to work with his left hand on small tray-bound paper which was later assembled into larger sheets. He used oil pastel as paint with a rich surface and startling colours. His forms were bold and simple, and his drawings became his major form of communication, a way of evoking memory and telling stories of his past and present.
Later on in his life, Howlett and Bailey won many design awards and competitions from the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, and in 1973, Howlett was honored by the RAIA with Life Fellowship.
