Darling, Naomi

Ms. Darling, AIA, LEED AP, is a principal at Darling Loeffler-Puurunen Architecture, a full service architectural practice based in New Haven, CT. The firm aims to produce socially responsible and environmentally conscious projects at all scales in terms of size, time, and permanence with a special consideration of site and place. Darling was one of 20 participants recently showcased in EP:2011, the second annual exhibition of work, art, and designs of emerging architects across North America sponsored by The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Center for Emerging Professionals. Prior to cofounding her practice, Ms. Darling worked at Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects, Studio ABK, and Kengo Kuma and Associates. Ms. Darling’s early experiences working as a researcher studying climate change in Antarctica and as a scientist about the SSV Westward, were formative experiences that have helped shape both her teaching and practice today.

Darling also teaches in the Urban Studies Department at Brown University.
