Her TEDWomen talk on what a world without prisons could look like has been viewed more than one million times. Her other honors include UC Berkeley’s Berkeley-Rupp Architecture Prize and Professorship, awarded to a design practitioner who significantly contributed to advancing gender equity in architecture, and whose work emphasizes a commitment to sustainability and community. Globally she has received the 2018 Bicentenary Medal of the Royal Society of Arts, for her efforts in transforming justice through design, and the Architectural Record’s Women in Architecture Award. Van Buren is also the co-founder of BIG Oakland (Building Industry Gathering), a co-working space supporting small minority- and women-owned firms in the architecture, engineering, construction, and real estate industries.
