Brodie Bain FAIA has transformed the breadth of architectural practice through leadership in mission-focused, strategically-driven planning. Her work with several Seattle-based offices has helped educational institutions, using integrated methods for place-based, user-centered and sustainable solutions.
With a passion for creating and preserving people places, our environment and institutions that serve society, Brodie focuses on design strategies for mission-centered clients responsible for creating and stewarding places. By supporting institutions charged with making important contributions, Brodie has expanded architectural practice to a strategic role helping clients make decisions that serve to carry out their mission while improving the environments that support them. As she has worked on projects on over 30 campuses and with hundreds of campus and community stakeholders, Brodie’s comprehensive understanding of colleges and universities offers a rare comparative perspective. Her service to professional associations, civic organizations and academics, along with many speaking engagements, has given audiences around the country a new perspective on the range of possibilities for architectural practice.
An active member of the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP), the Advancement for Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), and the Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA), Brodie has worked across the country for state universities, private colleges, and community colleges, and most recently has developed and lectured on innovative approaches to sustainable campus planning. She sits on the Seattle Design Commission (2015).
