Abstract

Henry J. Cowan became in 1953 the first professor of Architectural Science. He developed the first undergraduate and postgraduate courses in that field in the following years, and established the first architectural research unit in Australia. In 1958 he founded the Architectural Science Review, and international refereed journal which he still edits. He is the author of twenty books, including one in its fifth edition, of more than two hundred contributions to books and magazines, and of more than two thousand book reviews.

In 1979 he was made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of Architects, in 1983 an Officer of the Order of Australia, and in 1984 and Honorary Doctor of Architecture of the University of Sydney.
