 | A third-generation architect, Ian Bader has dedicated his
professional life to the art of social and cultural engagement through the design of buildings. This commitment has manifested itself in a significant body of thoughtfully resolved projects of international significance and broad social reach. Consistently striving for the highest practical and aesthetic ideals, his work has made a significant contribution to the lives of people in a great diversity of settings.Nationally recognized institutional projects to which Mr. Bader has made a
substantive design contribution include The Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center Dallas, Texas (1989); The Grand Louvre Paris, France (1989); Anderson Graduate School of Management, UCLA (1995); John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse, Boston, Massachusetts (1998); and the National Constitution Center Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (2003). His design of exemplary institutional projects has extended the typology of a range of building types, including Campus Buildings: Choate Rosemary Hall
Science Center Wallingford, Connecticut (1989); China Europe International Business School, Shanghai (2002, 2004); Interdisciplinary Humanities Buildings at the University of California (2008); Courthouses: United States Courthouse, Hammond, Indiana (2002); Westchester County Courthouse, New York (2004); Queens Family Courthouse, New York (2003); and Healthcare Facilities: Guggenheim Pavilion, Mount Sinai Hospital, (1992); Bellevue Hospital, Ambulatory Care Pavilion (2004); Jacobi Medical
Center Ambulatory Care Pavilion (2009). Mr. Bader's ongoing work for major public institutions transcends immediate project interests, seeking to achieve broad public benefit. Now complete, the Milstein Heart Center, a memorable iconic presence along Manhattan's Riverside Drive, greatly enhances access to advanced cardiac care for all New Yorkers. The recently completed headquarters for the International Bank of Israel, in its unique combination of contextual deference and formal
excitement, has begun to transform the financial center of downtown Tel Aviv. With its sophisticated computerized solar shading system, it has become an icon of environmental responsibility in Israel. The new expansion campus for the China Europe International Business School in Shanghai (2013), will present a thorough integration between built and natural environments. Mr. Bader's current assignment, the design of the interface between the famous Tivoli Gardens and the core of
Copenhagen carries a substantial and publicly visible responsibility for the integrity of the urban fabric of this historic city. In his work, Mr. Bader has committed himself to placing the public at the center of his architectural compositions, to celebrate the triumph of the sentient being over the inanimate object. In addition to his intense focus on the architectural artifact, Mr. Bader has taught, lectured, contributed to exhibitions, and written about architecture. Mr Bader's
work has been recognized by numerous academic and professional awards. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. See also Mr. Bader's Curriculum Vitae and Project List.
