ABOUT ANGELA


Angela Brooks is as a leader and pioneer in the field of sustainable architecture. She has demonstrated an unparalleled ability to marry aesthetics, affordability and sustainability in the built environment. From the groundbreaking Colorado Court affordable housing development-the first of its kind to be 100% energy neutral and achieve a LEED Gold rating-to co-founding a non-profit development company created to stimulate neighborhood revitalization, to Step Up on 5th, an apartment for homeless adults where an exhaustive energy-efficient strategy was implemented from construction through occupancy, Brooks' projects have set the standard for responsible 21st century design. Brooks and her Santa Monica based firm PUGH + SCARPA have been recognized with more than fifty major awards, including fifteen National American Institute of Architects awards, the AIA/COTE Top Ten Green Project Award in 2003 and 2006, The Rudy Brunner Prize, the 2009 National American Institute of Architects Young Architects Award and the 2010 National and State of California American Institute of Architects Firm Award.
