INFORMers Alireza, Ramon, and Kirsten at last night’s Constructing Futures event hosted by at Bedrock’s 1001 Woodward Ave. space as part of Detroit Month of Design.

Kirsten Crawford along with fellow INFORMer Erik Knauss were accepted to exhibit one of their AI generated images that envision the future of construction technology. Their image was part of a larger investigation into making the design process more collaborative and accessible to clients. More thoughts on this coming soon…

Placemaking and Bridging Communities

For architect Michael Guthrie, M.Arch ’98, his decades of practice are rooted in placemaking, community impact, and design innovation. This work can be particularly impactful in large-scale urban design projects, including pedestrian bridges that have become world-class destinations, economic actuators, and places for people to connect with their communities and the surrounding ecologies.

As we approach the June 30th anniversary of the Ann Arbor District Library - Traverwood Branch, we reflect on its significance for our firm. This project, completed in 2008, was a cornerstone in expanding the AADL system and it serves as a vital community center for northeast Ann Arbor.

Located near the Sapp Nature Area, the library’s design prioritized environmental sustainability and featured innovative use of reclaimed Ash wood. This landmark project not only supported the community but also our commitment to sustainable and community-focused architecture.

Collaborating to realize artistic form. to Illy Caffe, a project completed by INFORM Studio in 2015.

This coffee bar and lounge, located within Detroit Metro Airport’s McNamara Terminal was inspired by the iconic Water Fountain installation at McNamara (Designed by WET ), and is composed of floating ribbons that illuminate with light and other multimedia devices.

It provides airport guests with a central point of destination to decompress, relax, and meet with traveling friends / colleagues.

Celebrating a Grand Reopening of AMITY Coworking! INFORM’s Inspire & Impact Episode 15 is out 🎉 AMITY, a shared workspace completed by INFORM in 2018, was designed to combine elevated design + hospitality-centered amenities to create a unique co-working experience for its members.

In this Inspire & Impact episode, we speak with Northville’s Mayor - Brian Turnbull, Attorney, Kristi Crawford for Vital Vistas, and Sam Martinez, Digital Analyst, and Carolyn Sauer, Director of Business Development, of Schaltbau North America.

Located within a rehabilitated Model T manufacturing plant designed by Albert Kahn in 1936, AMITY utilizes many features of the original shell, including divided light window walls, exposed joists, and concrete flooring. These elements are historical, and were drivers in the workplace design strategy that relies on natural light and a variety of flexible spaces to promote focus, collaboration, and well-being.

Congratulations to Shawn and Dustin on the grand reopening!

from Buro Happold • “Providence River Pedestrian Bridge

Location: Providence, Rhode Island, USA

Services Provided: Structural engineering

Project Key Fact: The Pedestrian Bridge takes the place of the rerouted highway, leaving open space for a park on either side of the river. This urban infrastructure and development helps stitch together pieces of Providence and provides a new link between neighborhoods and a place for gathering and activity. The design includes a boardwalk and landscaped green space linking two new riverside parks together, as part of a large city scheme of harborside and downtown redevelopment.

#INFORMERSonsite INFORM's marketing team made a visit to Ann Arbor's Traverwood Library to capture some drone footage on this beautiful summer day. Completed in 2008, the Traverwood Branch of the Ann Arbor District Library (@aadlgram) is built on a heavily wooded 4-acre site, serving the public and community while creating a protective barrier between the existing ecosystems of the woods and the inhabitants of the city. Further, it maintains care and sensitivity to its environment by having minimal site impact and maintaining biodiversity. Sustainable design features include a storm-water management system, a rain garden, daylighting strategies throughout, and the use of reclaimed ash trees from the building site (which had been destroyed by the Emerald Ash Borer insects). Reclaimed Ash logs are used as interior structural columns and Ash wood is used as the primary interior detail, wrapping rooms, creating furniture, and framing views of the nature outside. #INFORMStudio #INFORM #DesignForChange #Architecture #SustainableDesign #Design #AnnArbor #publiclibrary #libraryarchitecture #librarydesign #TraverwoodLibrary
