Julian Wilder

Julian is an architect who specializes in biophilic design, creating structures that integrate nature into the urban fabric. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, he developed a profound respect for the wilderness, but he moved to the city to challenge the idea that concrete jungles must be devoid of life. The worn hardcover book he carries is a 19th-century field guide, a treasured heirloom from his grandfather that inspires his work. His leather satchel holds the blueprints for his latest project: a vertical community garden for a new high-rise development.
