Amber Wendland AIA, AICP
Associate Principal
Amber designs at every scale.
As both an architect and urban planner, Amber helps cities; regions; colleges and universities; and mission-driven organizations navigate growth and change for generations. Her work bridges disciplines and scales from the transformation strategy for North Carolina’s 7,000-acre Research Triangle Park and campus master plans for Purdue University to institutional feasibility studies for the Smithsonian Institution or a neighborhood plan for East Baltimore. Whether guiding the future of a university campus, an innovation district, or an urban neighborhood, Amber helps organizations design thriving places where institutions and communities prosper together.
She specializes in helping anchor institutions transform the places where campus and community intersect. She integrates campus planning, urban design, neighborhood revitalization, engagement, and real estate strategy to advance institutional missions while strengthening surrounding neighborhoods. By bringing together clients, stakeholders, and community voices, she helps organizations build lasting partnerships and craft strategies that are visionary, implementable, and grounded in local priorities.
Amber’s work has been recognized by the Greater Baltimore Committee, the American Planning Association, and the American Institute of Architects for excellence in planning, engagement, and design. In addition to her practice, Amber serves as adjunct faculty in the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, where she teaches graduate students in architecture and planning. She is passionate about advancing equity and inclusion within the design professions.
Outside the firm, she serves on the board of the Greater Baltimore Committee with other Baltimore leaders. She has been recognized for her professional achievements, community leadership, and service, including being named one of “Maryland’s Top Women” by The Daily Record (2021), a “40 Under 40″ honoree by the Baltimore Business Journal (2024), and an “Influential Marylander” by The Daily Record (2025).
