Tony Brazel has been awarded the 2017 Jeffrey Cook Prize for Desert Architecture. This prize, sponsored by the Jeffrey Cook Foundation, was awarded at Ben-Gurion University during the workshop on “The challenges of climate responsive architecture in hotter and drier cities”, March 8-9, 2017.
The Cook Prize for Desert Architecture is named after the late Prof. Jeffrey Cook, who was a central figure in the field of passive and low-energy architecture and who, throughout his years in Arizona, had a special commitment to appropriate architectural design in the desert. The award is for lifetime contribution to a sustainable green environment.
