Filled with fresh perspective, Bruder won the commission to design the 280,000 square foot Phoenix Central Library. It opened in 1995. Cultural, civic, and private commissions followed, as did opportunities to travel, lecture, and teach. The library was awarded the AIA 25 Year Building Award in 2021.
