Lawrence Scarpa - Architect
Over the last two years, Pugh-Scarpa, the architectural firm of Lawrence Scarpa, has been bestowed with every imaginable national and international architectural award. This, comes as no surprise; for its work, some of which pioneered LEED-certified design in the US, employs new materials, forms and methods of construction that are setting new standards. Pugh-Scarpa integrates green elements into the final design and schematic of its work, boldly announcing that a new instance of architecture has arrived - in Venice.
