William Wilde (1904-1984) was born Wolff Goldstein in Moghilev, Russia (Ukraine) on January 1, 1904. He participating in the Bolshevik Revolution fleeing the Czarist reign into western Europe.  He studied architecture before immigrating to the United States on February 2, 1923.  He settled in Providence R.I. 就读于罗德岛设计学院. 1928年，他改名为威廉·王尔德. 

西尔维娅·王尔德(1907-1954)1907年出生于乌克兰, Russia, and after the war escaped with her family through Siberia living in Mukden and then moving to Japan where she developed a lifelong interest in design.  She would recall later in an interview, “Those wonderful, airy buildings in Japan! Movable partitions, whole new conceptions of living space, clean sweeping lines.  They opened up a whole new world to me.”  She traveled throughout Asia and immigrated to the United States though San Francisco.  她搬到了罗得岛州的普罗维登斯，遇到了威廉. They married in 1928 and by 1934 topened their first Architectural and Industrial design office in Westfield, New Jersey.  

在一次二战后的采访中，西尔维娅回忆道,  “当我来到这个国家时，我必须学习一门新的语言.  I am still learning, for language has many nuances and fine shadings which give it meaning.  The same is true of design.  一个人必须不断地感觉到恰当, useful, beautiful, 把它们编织成一种生活的模式. That is designing.”

在新泽西，他们融合了新兴事物 avant-garde european international style and american tastes to create a portfolio of work that garnered regional and national attention. For Sylvia and William the interior and landscaping were as important as the exterior of a building, they developed a vision of congruity and they believed the design elements needed to flow from one into the other.  In 1936/37 the couple collaborated on the Mary Ellis House at 1629 South County Trail in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.  The house was immediately recognized as architecturally significant and was published in the History of Rhode Island Architecture.  The Ellis House is considered the best example of International Style houses built in Rhode Island and was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

The couple moved to Tucson in 1946.  In southern Arizona they opened a new office and were hired to in 1947 to design the El Siglo Apartment.  The FHA-Insured project was led by Albert Oshrin of Oshrin Building and Development Company. The development was located east of Alvernon Way near Haynes Street behind what is today the Double Tree Hotel.  The 20 acre project included free standing rental homes with landscape by John Harlow.  The first phase included 12 units which opened in 1948 which under federal housing administration regulations which give WWII vets priority.  The houses ranged in size from 3 ½ to 5 ½ rooms – brick and glass construction with central heating, cooling. Each with a carport. Price was $90 to $130 a month. Project was financed through 534,750 FHA loan and the largest granted any builder in the state of Arizona at the time it was made.  In 1948 they oversaw the design of Freedom Village这是一个占地160英亩、拥有450套住宅的开发项目，由Freedom Homes, Inc .开发. at Indian School (Ajo) and Valley Road.  

In 1951 the Wildes were commissioned to design the home of Harold Rappaport at 1501 East Spring Street.  The expansive glass, movable walls and rhythmic form of house was a innovative design approach that received national and international attention.  The home was featured in the July 1948 issue of Architectural Forum and the July issue of British published Ideal Home.  Every element of the Rappaport house was designed by the Wildes including the china and silver.  

在一次采访中，他们沉思道:“人们称我们为现代主义者.  If using modern materials and techniques and employing them to the best use we have constitutes modernism, then we are.   After all, we live in a particular era, and we want to express it, the same as people of all ages have. 在我们所处的时代，有太多的新事物需要我们在设计中加以利用.”

The attention and critical acclaim helped grow their practice and attracted clients looking for innovative cutting edge modern design.   Their office which they called “H.R. 位于东第五街415 (413).

在此期间，西尔维娅设计了建筑、家具和织物. Cele Peterson, fashion icon and clint, 1952年9月将西尔维娅描述为:西尔维娅·王尔德接受新….it’s tomorrow just talking to her! 她的远见卓识令人惊叹，大胆而有远见!西尔维娅患了癌症，1954年在芝加哥去世，时年47岁, while recovering from surgery.

Wilde’s designs from this period forward take on a more masculine and structural character. 1958年，王尔德为哈洛苗圃的扩建设计了一个概念项目. The open air building was one of the 第一个薄壳混凝土结构在云顶集团浇筑.  该设计给了建筑漂浮的外观, Wilde worked with Johannessen, Girand and Taylor consulting engineers and construction on the project was completed by Jaco Construction Co.

The 1966 Wilde was selected to design the new NASA Planetary Science building on the University of Arizona campus.   The design used six-ton precast concrete components that functioned as a column, a window and a spandrel beam.  The four story building was financed by National Aeronautics and Space Administration Building at a cost $1.2M，当时被认为是美国大学的先锋结构.

1970年，王尔德说:“伟人靠自己做事的时代已经过去。.  Everyone today must be a part of the community, part of a team and this holds with architects. .  Architects today can’t practice today without going beyond what a city looks like.  They must understand its problems.  They must understand behaviorism. Architects today must concentrate on the reel needs of the public – the needs that people do not themselves realize they need.”

In May of 1978 Wilde announced his retirement from the firm of Wilde Anderson DeCartolo Pan Architects Inc and began the consulting firm William Wilde AIA, continuing to impact projects and design in Southern Arizona until his death in 1984.
