Four Cal Poly Alumni Elevated to the American Institute of Architects’ College of Fellows
MAY 26, 2015
SAN LUIS OBISPO -- The American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2015 Jury of Fellows elevated four Cal Poly alumni to its College of Fellows.
Pamela Anderson- Brulé (B.S., Architecture, 1981), David Diamond (BAR Architecture, 1988, M.S. Architecture, 1989), Nathan Good (B.S. Architecture, 1978, MAR, 1991) and Diane Mclean (B.S. Architecture, 1980) were among 147 architects honored at a ceremony during the AIA Convention in Atlanta last week.
"Quite a number of our alumni were honored with this prestigious recognition this year," said the College of Architecture and Environmental Design Dean Christine Theodoropoulos. "These individuals have contributed significantly to the field of architecture in their communities, the state and the nation. We are happy for them, and proud to call them Cal Poly alumni."
Anderson- Brulé, Diamond, Good and Mclean were recognized for their vision and innovation in shaping the built environment. Induction into the AIA fellowship program is one of the highest honors the organization can bestow upon a member. Election to the College of Fellows recognizes the achievements of architects as individuals and their significant contribution to architecture and society. Out of the more than 85,000 AIA members, less than 4 percent hold this distinction.
Anderson- Brulé, FAIA, is president and co-founder of Anderson Brule Architects headquartered in San Jose, Calif., and is the first woman in Santa Clara County to earn the distinction of AIA fellow. She believes successful building design engages the client’s entire operation from a human, social, economic and environmental perspective – a methodology she calls strategic process design. Anderson-Brulé has been nationally recognized for the new service and operational models developed for the San José Martin Luther King Jr. Library, a first-of-its-kind facility used jointly by San Jose State University and the city of San José.
Diamond, FAIA, is associate director and technical designer at SOM. A recognized expert in the integration of building systems and architecture, his extensive portfolio includes the U.S. Embassy in Beijing; U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou, China; Cathedral of Christ the Light, in Oakland, Calif.; and the headquarters for Electronic Arts in Redwood City, Calif. Diamond is committed to sharing his knowledge and expertise with future architects and generously volunteers his time as a mentor and lecturer to Cal Poly architecture students.
Good, FAIA, IIDA, LEED AP, founded Nathan Good Architects in 2005. He specializes in projects that bridge environmental performance with character and aesthetics. He is known for being at the forefront of sustainable design and was the fifth individual to be designated a LEED accredited professional. His projects strive to reduce environmental impact through thoughtful site planning, aggressive reduction of energy consumption, water savings and careful selection of materials. His firm has received design awards from the Portland and Salem chapters of the AIA, National Association of Home Builders, Sunset magazine, Environmental Design + Construction Portland Spaces and the Mid-Willamette Valley.
McLean, FAIA, LEED AP BD+C, program architect for New Construction Services at Southern California Edison is a leader in energy efficiency and sustainable design practices. She has 30 years of professional experience in the design and construction of institutional and government building complexes, including healthcare facilities, universities and civic centers. McLean has received several awards for her leadership and commitment to raising the standards of sustainable design. She serves on the AIA California Council Energy and the Built Environment Steering Committee, the AIACC Committee on the Environment (COTE) and AIA Orange County Board of Directors.
