Ulrich Franzen

Ulrich Joseph Franzen (January 15, 1921 – October 6, 2012) was a German-born American architect known for his "fortresslike" buildings and Brutalist style.

He obtained an undergraduate degree from Williams College, and after one semester at the architectural school at Harvard University, joined the Army.

[3] Franzen also designed the headquarters for the Miller Brewing Company in Milwaukee, WI (completed 1976).

In 2005, LA DALLMAN was commissioned to create the new Miller Corporate Pub and Meeting Center, fully renovating the ground floor.

[4] His other notable projects include the East and West towers at Hunter College (completed in 1984 after a long delay due to the financial crisis in New York City), and the Philip Morris headquarters in New York City (completed in 1982).
