Bret joined oslund.and.assoc. after receiving
his MLA from the University of Minnesota in May of 2007. He comes to us
with a broad background in the Fine Arts, Arts Administration, and Graphic
Design. He holds a BFA in Fine Arts, with an emphasis in Sculpture. His
involvement on projects has mainly focused on college campus and small-site
urban design. Bret's interests lie in creating distinctive site details
that enhance experience of the site while reinforcing the comprehensive
vision of the design. He was awarded the 2007 ASLA Honor Award in General
Design for his submission (In)Security: Access and Anxiety in the Wall
Street Financial District, an exploration of security interventions in
post-911 urban design.
