Gregory Cowan
Happy 2025! I am a Life Coach, Urbanist-architect, Educator and Urban Guide. I am interested in Urban Research and Start Up companies, and have been mentoring in UK and Germany for a few years.
Gregory is an Australian-born architect turned researcher and entrepreneur; and he has made London home since 2003. Working on urban experience, street design and place making. As an architect and educator, he previously lived in Austria, Germany, Malaysia and Mongolia. Gregory currently supervises research at the University of Wales Trinity St David, and University of Westminster. Alongside he works as an urban tour guide with WithLocals, and as an amateur musician, performing in various bands..
Home from 2014 to 2020 on the Regent's Canal - and second home since 2020 on various waterways - is the 59 ft Narrowboat “Dolly”. In April 2020, “The Architect’s Mooring” was published, as a chapter in Austria’s Graz Architecture Magazine, GAM16- Un/Common Special Issue. In May 2020 in the global pandemic, Dolly and crew transitioned to continuous cruising on the waterways, and Gregory continues to work in London and internationally..
Gregory transformed his career in 2020, consolidating experience from architecture, urban design and regeneration, urban tourism, street architecture and nomadology, into serving as a transformational life coach, guiding others in their lives, their careers and their businesses. In the pandemic lockdown, 5 years after completing his PhD "Occupying Streets", Gregory founded the architects coach.
