Tone on Tuesday 102: In memory of Philip Abram, architect and coalescer of small practices
The only member of his family to attend university, Phil studied and graduated in architecture at UNSW. He traveled to Europe, worked briefly on the Barbican, but returned to Sydney when his father was ill, taking over his joinery shop. Phil married Freda, a designer, and belatedly started professional life in his early thirties. For the next 40 years he mostly practiced with only one assistant, and for over half that time it was the dedicated and highly talented Anna Bowen-James.
