ReAnimate LA: Center for Ecological & Urban Recovery

Best Green Job Creation

ReAnimateLA: Center for Ecological & Urban Recovery

ReAnimate LA would create up to 100 green jobs maintaining the sustainable elements of the building, such as the extraction and reuse of salvaged materials in construction, photovoltaic and ground-source heat pump systems, and bioremediation planting. ReAnimate LA speaks to the changing public values on environmental policy and the urban networks that are essential in bringing back value to a localized, organic way of life in the American city.

About the Entrant

Hayley Stewart, Cal Poly Pomona, Pomona, CA

Hayley Stewart

Hayley is a recent graduate of Cal Poly Pomona’s College of Environmental Design with a degree in Architecture. She is a member of the Tau Sigma Delta Architecture Society and has recently participated at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark during her fourth year of study. Currently Hayley is most interested in the social and cultural processes involved in the realm of the built environment. She hopes to study this at the graduate level in the future and wants to make a difference in the lives of others through responsible design, helping elate the shift in attitude of the American public towards a more socially sustainable and environmentally aware society. She is currently working for HMC Architects in Ontario, California. In the future, Hayley plans to start her own design-build architecture firm balanced in social ecology, digital fabrication and environmental design.
