I am Bradley Bowman, a passionate architect and educator dedicated to creating spaces that foster connection and community. With six years of experience designing innovative solutions for healthcare, multifamily housing, and higher education projects, I blend technical expertise with a deep understanding of human-centered design. My research on the loneliness epidemic drives my mission to craft environments that enrich lives and bring people together.
I am looking for opportunities to collaborate with visionary teams and forward-thinking firms where I can continue to push the envelope of architectural design and contribute to creating more connected and vibrant communities.

Arizona Architectural Archives Grant, 1st Place
A proposed 6-week excursion to Arcosanti, an experimental town located 70 miles outside of Phoenix. Designed by Paolo Soleri, this community serves as a prototype integrating architectural design with ecological principles. It operates as a counterpoint to mass consumerism, urban sprawl, unchecked consumption, and social isolation. The research aims to further investigate social isolation while gaining firsthand exposure to an alternative urban development.
Robert Saemisch Prize, 1st Place
- An annual award presented to a budding architectural design professional, enabling them to explore a subject they are deeply passionate about.
