Louise Braverman

Louise Braverman is a New York City-based architect known for a design philosophy that aims to combine aesthetic design and social conscience. She is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA).[1][2] Educated at the Yale School of Architecture,[3] Braverman founded her own firm, Louise Braverman Architect, in 1991 which has designed a number of notable buildings around the world including the Village Health Works Staff Housing and Centro de Artes Nadir Afonso. She presented the work of her firm at the Venice Architectural Biennale at international exhibits in both 2012[4] and 2014,[5] as well as at the United States Pavilion in 2014.[6]

Notable Works

Some of Braverman's notable works include award-winning[7][8] sustainable housing center for health workers in a rural village in Burundi, Africa[9] and the Centro de Artes Nadir Afonso Art Museum in Boticas, Portugal dedicated to the work of abstract artist Nadir Afonso.[10][11][12]

Other projects that have gained attention from the media include St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital in New York City,[13] the Poets House,[14] the Derfner Judaica Museum,[15] and the Chelsea Court affordable housing.[16]
