For 40 years, Will Bruder has explored inventive and contextually exciting architectural solutions in response to site opportunities and user needs. Will is a craftsman in his concern for detail and building processes, and a sculptor in his unique blending of space, materials, and light.
Self-trained as an architect, Will has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Supplementing his studio art education were studies in structural engineering, philosophy, art history and urban planning, followed by a full architectural apprenticeship under Gunnar Birkerts and Paolo Soleri. Subsequent to becoming registered, Will opened his own studio in 1974. Most of Will’s 450 commissions have celebrated the craft of building in ways not typical in contemporary architecture, striving to invent form specific to function and his clients' aspirations. Through his creative use of materials and light, Will’s ability to raise the ordinary to the extraordinary is renowned.
