He can successfully capture the big ideas, as well as identify high level detailing and technical strategies. His presentation technique is enlightening and balanced because his understanding successfully spans these broad topics and their impact on the final design.”

“Bradley, Sincere thanks for creating the beautifully crafted and compellingly written articles about our work. I particularly like the way you examined our projects in depth and included explanations that probe our intent. For example, the fact that you recognized entry and arrival sequences are a crucial part of our design work is very important to us. We have worked with many architectural writers over the past, 40 years, and believe that your architectural training informs your writing in a unique and creative way.”

"Bradley Wheeler took a few quality images and a very technical, to-the-point architectural description for SmithGroup's U.S. Arid-Land Agricultural Research Center project and crafted a truly superb article and layout for the Italian magazine OFARCH. SmithGroup Inc., ranking as the nation's 7th largest architecture and engineering firm with offices in ten U.S. cities, is extremely proud of this award winning project and was anxious to share it with other designers and architecture aficionados around the world. As the project's designer, I felt Brad did an excellent job of communicating the soul of the project though an articulate exploration of the challenges faced and overcome in a 5 year long design and construction process."

“Bradley Wheeler has been an excellent partner and advocate for SmithGroup Chicago officeʼs completed architectural designs.
Our interaction with Bradley started with a portfolio review of completed and on-the-board projects. From there, Bradley pitched several of our completed projects to OFArch magazine. We were very pleased to hear OFArch magazine was interested in two of our projects, the Chamberlain Group headquarters, and SmithGroupʼs Chicago office design.
Bradley was attentive, curious and detailed while interviewing our staff and asked many follow-up questions to accurately portray the project stories. Our design staff was extremely pleased with the opportunity to have our projects featured in OFArch magazine and we look forward to the next opportunity to work with Bradley.”

“We have worked with Bradley Wheeler over the past several years. Bradley has written excellent articles about some of our highest profile projects, including the Bank of China Headquarters (designed by Didi and Sandi Pei along with their father I. M. Pei) in Beijing, as well as our firm's recent rebranding.
Bradley's articles are well written, thorough, and engaging. Given his professional background in architecture, Bradley is able to recognize and accurately articulate critical aspects of our designs, as well as highlight essential elements such as sustainability and LEED features.
Thanks to his articles, our firm has enjoyed additional exposure in the European and the Asian markets, and we feel that such exposure has been valuable to the practice. Bradley is a true professional, and we look forward to working with him again in the near future.”

We hope to continue to publish through Bradley."

"Bradley Wheeler has been an unique and extraordinary resource to our firm specifically and to the profession of architecture as a whole. His background in architecture mixed with his skill as a photographer and writer separate him from others in his field. He writes from an in depth understanding of the underlying concept and guiding principals of design and presents an in depth article that not only appeals to the professional but layman as well. His ability through his work and relationships to unlock potential opportunities for Overland around the world in Asia, Europe and Latin America have proven invaluable. The timing of his most recent article on Overland in the Design Diffusion News magazine in Italy during the world Expo in Milan was extremely helpful in reaching a broad yet targeted market at an opportune time. He is always thinking about the Bigger Picture."

“Weʼve been very fortunate to have Bradley write about our architecture and landscape projects. Heʼs helped give our work great international exposure. Weʼre looking forward to continuing the collaboration.”

“Bradley, Itʼs been a delight to work with you. We had no idea that so shortly after meeting you weʼd be published in not one, but two prestigious Italian architecture and design journals. Both of them were on our lobby coffee table when the Board of the Chinati Foundation walked in along with artist Robert Irwin with whom we are doing a new project. This is the kind of design credibility that is helping us reinvigorate our 75 year history as leading designers in the Southwest. I certainly didnʼt expect the bonus of a trip to Milan for the International Design Exposition, sponsored by the magazines. I expect to learn a great deal there. We look forward to continuing to know you and to work with you on future publications.”

“Bradley Wheeler's voice as an architectural writer is both articulate and spot on. He is, at once, comprehensive and succinct. He nails essences and details. He places projects--precisely and engagingly--in their historical, geographic, stylistic, and human context. He knows architecture. When reading his descriptions of our work, I am amazed and pleased that he--or anyone--so gets it. He is a rare and valuable writer.”

"Bradley has the rare ability to grasp an architect's ideas and to convey that in his writing, while simultaneously managing to portray the clients who actually inhabit these spaces; he is able to see architecture and design from both points of view. He also knows how to make sure that his creative vision for a story becomes reality, by achieving articles that are beautifully presented within prestigious international publications."

“Bradleyʼs articles are insightful and always speak to our potential client base. Here in Japan, we are using his Italian articles as marketing tools to promote our work. He has consistently written to our great satisfaction. He is able to give us international exposure with a subtle sense of humor.”

“Before being an architectural photographer and writer, Bradley Wheeler was above all an architect. This background permits him to have an attentive eye and keen sensibility to understand the spirit of our projects. He possesses the ability to communicate the essence of our design in his articles, by gathering all the aspects which characterize our studio. He published our work here in Italy, and “brought” us to China in an important architecture magazine, thanks to his numerous publishing contacts. The comparison with him for us is always very constructive; working together is always a nice
experience.”
Antonio Gasparri, Founding Principal
A2 Studio, Imola, Italy
“Bradley: I wanted to send you a note of thanks. I saw the article you wrote about this house in Design Diffusion News in Italy and am thrilled. It is extremely well written and manages to give a pitch perfect voice to the efforts in designing and building the space. The sense of whimsey is articulated with equal deference to the utility and environmental aspects of the project. It is a tremendous boon to be able to have the work shown in Italy; a direct result of your efforts.
Tante mille grazie / Many thanks”
