In the course of architect Eden Brukman’s career, she has touched and shaped a number of critical aspects of the sustainable building industry.

Eden touched on how systems thinking is so crucial to solving the big challenges; she cited the classic Donella Meadows essay, Leverage Points in a System, as an enduring reference point.
