Bruce Dammann

Bruce Dammann was born in Chicago in 1939 and graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1963. Following graduation he worked in Indiana (for 2 years) and then in Los Angeles (for 1 year) before joining Tucker, Sadler & Bennet, under the direction of Hal Sadler, in San Diego. While working for Paul W. Mckim & Associates (for 2 years), Bruce worked from the Design Center on Fifth Avenue where Leonard Veitzer, Don Goldman, Lloyd Ruocco, Joe Yamada, and John Oldenkamp worked and Ilse Ruocco ran the Design Center retail store and interior design firm.

Mr. Dammann established PBD Architects Associated in 1972 along with O.W. Phipps and Richard Bundy. Bundy left firm in 1974 and O.W. Phipps passed away in 1980 from cancer. Bruce closed PBD Architects in 1995 and concentrated on developing housing projects in San Diego by becoming partners with developers concentrating on small in-fill residential projects. He retired from practice in 2010 after involvement in over 300 projects throughout San Diego.
