After graduating in 1944, he served in the United States Army Air Corps, then studied architecture at Georgia Tech. He studied with Frank Lloyd Wright at both Taliesin and Taliesin West. Jim Moran commissioned Broward to create the Deerfield Beach corporate campus for JM Family Enterprises in 1981. Broward included an oriental flair to the architecture in recognition of the Japanese company that manufactured Toyotas. Among Broward's writings is a book about Henry John Klutho and The Prairie School in Jacksonville. In 2011 he was selected as a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. An issue of a national architectural journal was devoted to his work and he was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2012. Broward died on June 28, 2015, following a stroke. He was 89 years old. (en) |
