“one of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting all over again,” Renzo Piano -- Renzo Piano's quote highlights the cyclical nature of architecture and its ability to reflect the human experience. Just as life begins anew with each moment, so too does architecture evolve with every new project, embodying fresh perspectives, ideas, and cultural contexts. This idea emphasizes the creativity and innovation inherent in architectural design, as well as its capacity to adapt and respond to the changing needs of society. Each structure, whether residential, commercial, or public, tells a unique story and contributes to the ongoing narrative of our built environment. Ultimately, Piano suggests that architecture is not just about constructing buildings; it is about creating spaces that resonate with life and meaning.

🔍 Exploring "Frankenstein Architecture" by Simon Hakim I recently coined the term "Frankenstein architecture" during a conversation with a friend. This concept describes the phenomenon where architects take beautiful elements from various buildings and mix them into a new structure. The result is often a striking yet unattractive building that combines styles in a chaotic way. This concept challenges traditional design norms and highlights the importance of cohesive aesthetics in architecture. Do you know any architects or buildings that fit this description? I'd love to hear your thoughts and examples! #Architecture #Design #FrankensteinArchitecture #SimonHakim

M1DTW Architects, a firm founded by Christian Unverzagt, Associate Professor of Practice in Architecture, is recognized for turning a 2,000-foot abandoned commercial building in Detroit’s East Village into Library Street Collective Outpost, or LSC-O. LSC-O is now a multi-purpose, one-story facility serving as an archive and display space to showcase art from nearby galleries. The newly renovated space received a 2024 AIA Michigan Honor Award and was an Editor’s Pick in the “Adaptive Reuse – Commercial” category of the Architect’s Newspaper 2024 Best of Design Awards. The AIA Michigan jury commended M1DTW for its intelligent use of materials that resulted in an economical, yet harmonious, space. “This project proves that older buildings can be given a new lease on life, maintaining the historic fabric of our neighborhoods while moving them forward in new and interesting ways,” commented Unverzagt.
