Education
== In 1946, he attended Georgia Institute of Technology at twenty five years old, and graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1950. The G.I. Bill aided him in his educational pursuits. The G.I. Bill was a program created by the government which rewarded WWII veterans. One of the rewards was financial coverage in the veteran's pursuit of education. Over two million veterans attended college under this program. This led to logistical problems with overcrowding at universities, but students did not mind, and were grateful for the opportunity to learn. Pulgram was one of these students. William met his wife, Lucia, while studying at Georgia Tech. He continued his education at Ecole des Beaux Arts.References ==

Childhood and WWII
William Pulgram was born on January 1, 1921 in Vienna, Austria to Sigmund Pulgram (tailor and manager of a fine clothing store) and Giselle Bauer Pulgram. He had two siblings, a younger sister, Lilli, and older brother, Ernst.[4] William and his family lived a comfortable life which was disrupted by the Nazi invasion of Vienna. In 1939 he escaped to England with the aid of a group of Quakers. He then stayed in England for a year and a half before receiving his papers allowing him to come to the United States and join his brother, Ernst. His father, Sigmund, mother, Giselle, and sister, Lilli all tragically passed away while being held at Auschwitz.[5]
