The monograph Turner Brooks: Work was published in 1995. He has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Graham Foundation; was awarded a Mid-Career Rome Prize Fellowship in 1984; and in 2015 received the Sidonie Miskimin Clauss Prize for Teaching Excellence in the Humanities. He has taught at Carnegie Mellon University, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the University of Miami, Middlebury College, the University of Vermont, and the Yale School of Architecture.
