Carla Bruni

Carla Bruni has spent the past twenty years preserving, studying, and writing about historic architecture across dozens of US cities. She teaches graduate students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she holds a Master of Science degree in Historic Preservation. Bruni has been a recurring guest discussing architecture and environmental issues on WGN Radio, and her work has been featured by StoryCorps Chicago, WLS, NPR, PRX, the Chicago Reader, Chicago Tonight, Chicago magazine, the Washington Post, and various other national and international publications. She also works to support the 30,000+ members of the Chicago Bungalow Association, overseeing energy efficiency work, creating history and home maintenance resources, and leading the charge to list thousands of vintage homes in the National Register of Historic Places. Her professional involvement in community repair and revitalization has taken her to every corner of Chicago, her native city, which she loves with wild abandon.
