SENIOR ASSOCIATES

Bruce Arnold is a registered Architect with a diverse professional background as designer, project manager, and project architect on several large, multi-disciplinary projects.   Since joining the Jones & Jones in 2000, he has led teams for major museum and cultural center projects including Agua Caliente Cultural Museum in Palm Springs, California, the Southern Ute Museum and Cultural Center in Southwestern Colorado, the Hanford Reach National Monument Heritage and Visitor Center, Richland, Washington and the New Wanapum Heritage Center, Desert Aire, Washington.

Bruce approaches projects like spirited conversations amongst friends, each sharing their expertise with the common goal of informing and inspiring the public. Whether museums, libraries, landscapes, classrooms, collections, galleries, or archives, his work provides a forum for discourse among the constituent elements of community: individuals, culture and our shared environment.

Bruce believes that by engaging people in experiential, place-based design, new ways of thinking about the world around us can emerge, promoting greater awareness of how our actions affect the environment and how the environment affects us.  These interactions between a people and their place form the bedrock of culture and make beautiful, meaningful places possible.
