Peter A.R. Wilson, AIA, Leed AP® balances being an architect as Principal at the ateri group with his academic pursuits as teacher, mentor and community advocate.  His professional work supports public and private sector developments alike and he guides both graduate and undergraduate design students to achieve their fullest. His professional career has spanned 30+ years, specializing in planning and design delivery of hospitality, retail, senior living, workplace, multi-family & private residential built environments, covering various sizes, budgets (small to multi-million dollar hard/soft packages), complexity and funding sources. He has led master and strategic planning initiatives throughout the northeastern, mid-Atlantic and Southern states, extending into the mid-west, in addition to serving as an architectural programming and design consultant on several international development projects. Leading by example and integrity is his hallmark.  Not only a fervent practitioner of both urban and rural architectural interventions, his passions focus on the interior architecture realm, promoting the core differences between how architects can support the interior built environment in concert with all design disciplines beyond the conventional understanding of interior designer/decorator’s roles in the design process and outcomes.  He shares that design philosophy with what he names the Big C Cohorts: Clients/ Constituents; Contractors and Colleagues – all of whom define if an architectural project is a success.

Peter holds undergraduate degrees in Mathematics and Art History from Kenyon College and a Masters of Architecture from Washington University in St Louis.  In between those academic pursuits, he was honored to be a Smithsonian Institute assigned to the National Museum of American Art.  He also has taught both at the graduate and undergraduate levels at Morgan State University and Anne Arundel Community College Schools of Architecture .

Education:
  • Master of Architecture, Washington University in St. Louis
  • Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Art History, Kenyon College
  • Honors Thesis, The Role of the Baroque Papacy in the Patronage of Fountains – Purely a Self-Aggrandizement Pursuit or an Investment in the Greater Public Good?
