Her firm has designed a number of notable buildings around the world, including the Village Health Works Staff Housing in Burundi and Centro de Artes Nadir Afonso in Portugal. Centro de Artes Nadir Afonso, an art museum, has been featured in the pivotal books, Destination Architecture: The Essential Guide to 1000 Contemporary Buildings [4] and Breaking Ground: Architecture by Women, [5] a visual survey of architecture designed by women from the early twentieth century to the present day. Braverman lectures frequently, discussing her work at such venues as Columbia GSAPP, [6] The Plan Magazine Perspective USA, [7] and at the Architectural League NY as an Emerging Voice. [8] She described her architectural design approach in her keynote address at the 2017 AIA Iowa Convention [9] and again in her 2020 in-depth interview with Julia Gamolina published on the noted website, MadameArchitect.org. [10] and again in her 2023 lecture, Architecture of Art + Conscience at The National Arts.

She discussed her thoughts about how her five consecutive installations in Venice added insight to the evolution of her built architectural work in conversation with Martha Thorne at the AIA New York Chapter 2021 Cocktails and Conversation program. She also expressed how Venice is a source of her creative inspiration in her essay Dream of Venice Architecture. [19]

Some of Braverman's notable works include award-winning [20] [21] sustainable housing center for health workers in a rural village in Burundi, Africa [22] and the Centro de Artes Nadir Afonso Art Museum in Boticas, Portugal dedicated to the work of abstract artist Nadir Afonso. [23] [24] [25]
