Nationally renowned design firm Brooks + Scarpa has completed award-winning projects of a wide variety of typologies. During this online program, Scarpa focuses primarily on the firm’s large body of site-specific work in affordable and supportive housing—in Los Angeles, Detroit and elsewhere—rooted in urbanity and leading-edge sustainability. Learn more from Scarpa about the firm’s collaborative approach, which emphasizes community dialogue through early phases of concept development.

Following his presentation, Los Angeles−based Scarpa and Commissioner Cox will discuss the impact of select projects in their respective cities, the promise of innovative design in tackling our nation’s housing shortage, and the once-in-a-generation opportunity for new housing models to take hold in Chicago’s underserved communities, through Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot’s INVEST South/West initiative. This special program, part of the CAC’s ongoing series of Architect Talks, concludes with an opportunity for attendees to ask questions.
