Steelcase reinterprets Frank Lloyd Wright’s Johnson Wax Headquarters furniture with their new Racine Collection

2023-01-27T10:54:00-05:00

Michigan-based manufacturing company Steelcase has announced the creation of the Frank Lloyd Wright Racine Collection, a range of furniture that pays homage to the products designed by the famous architect in 1939 for the SC Johnson Administration Building in Racine, Wisconsin. Having worked with Wright to produce the furniture for the original 1939 building, Steelcase has sought to develop a new range that “reintroduces, reinterprets, and reimagines the classic furniture designs of Wright.”

Wright’s relationship with Steelcase began with the Johnson Wax Headquarters in 1939 and has continued through 1985 with their ongoing stewardship of Wright’s Meyer May House in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For their latest endeavor, Steelcase is collaborating with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to launch reintroductions of iconic furniture by Wright, as well as create newly authored designers inspired by Wright’s principles.

Heatherwick collaborates with Harley-Davidson for design of Milwaukee community park

2023-01-11T13:48:00-05:00

Heatherwick Studio and Harley-Davidson have unveiled details of their plan to transform part of the motorcycle manufacturer’s headquarters in Milwaukee into a public park. According to the design team, the largely concrete site will be converted into a “civic and soulful green gathering space that can be used by everyone, including employees and the local community.”

The scheme will be anchored by a 272-foot-wide sunken events space named ‘The Hub.’ Formed of tiered seating and landscaped with trees and plants, the circular multi-use space will be constructed of ten types of locally sourced brick, weathered steel, and timber.

In one direction, The Hub will provide views of the original brick Harley-Davidson manufacturing buildings, while in the other, the space will provide views of a park filled with 120 native plant species and a planned market street, contemplative garden, and nature playground.

The new Children's Museum of Eau Claire demonstrates the innovative benefits of Structural Round Timber application

2022-11-04T12:27:00-04:00

The Children’s Museum of Eau Claire (CMEC) is a first-of-its-kind structure that demonstrates the innovative usage of Structural Round Timber (SRT).

The two-story, 24,000-square-foot building was designed by Steinberg Hart in collaboration with KPFF and an extensive team of timber engineering experts, fabricators, and forest product companies. One such firm to help bring this project to life is Madison, Wisconsin-based WholeTrees Structures. The woman-owned national timber products company aims to "improve the economic viability between healthily managed forests and the rural communities" that surround them.

In a press release published on October 31, CMEC Executive Director Michael McHorney shared, “Working with WholeTrees and their partners is helping us deliver on a key goal of this project, to reduce the carbon footprint for construction. As a result, the Children’s Museum of Eau Claire has sequestered more than 350,000 lbs....

Acclaimed Chicago architect Brad Lynch, of Brininstool + Lynch, passes away at 64

2022-09-28T19:08:00-04:00

A beloved figure in Chicago’s architecture community is being mourned this week after the news that Brininstool + Lynch founder Brad Lynch passed away on Monday at the age of 64.

Lynch was known as the designer of seminal works throughout the Midwest region, including the Racine Art Museum, award-winning BARDAVID at the University of Chicago’s new David Rubenstein Forum, and multiple residential projects across his adopted home city.

“I got to know Brad when he joined Archinect's ski trip in 2020, right before the pandemic hit. I had long been a fan of his design work, and quickly became a fan of him as a person,” Archinect founder Paul Petrunia remembered. “He was so kind and gracious with the group. He exuded excitement whenever talking about architecture and art, and was eager to show us the stu...

2022-09-26T17:06:00-04:00

Studio Gang has been selected to design the campus of the Women’s Leadership Center at Williams Bay in Wisconsin.

The Center will rise atop a nine-acre site along Geneva Lake. It will serve as a space to gather women leaders across various industries, including engineering and technology, infrastructure and design, space and astrophysics, public and private enterprise, and more, to foster discourse and collaboration. The campus will be positioned near George Williams College of Aurora University and the Yerkes Observatory.

“The Women’s Leadership Center will be dedicated to developing, sustaining, and advancing diverse women leaders in a new site that connects to the storied cultural and natural landscape of Williams Bay,” said Ann M. Drake, Chair and President of the Women’s Leadership Center at Williams Bay. “Jeanne’s sensibility for sustainable design that’s both innovative and inspiring is extraordinary.

Today is Santiago Calatrava Day in Milwaukee, honoring the architect’s iconic Quadracci Pavilion

2022-09-16T12:30:00-04:00

Milwaukee has declared Friday, September 16th as Santiago Calatrava Day, in celebration of the architect’s contribution to the city. Calatrava’s legacy in the city comes in the form of the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Quadracci Pavilion, known locally as “The Calatrava.”

The pavilion opened in 2001 following four years of construction. Designed in collaboration with local architect David Kahler Slater, the project was Calatrava’s first building in the United States. Three years after the pavilion’s completion, Calatrava would unveil his design for the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in Lower Manhattan.

“What I love about Milwaukee is the city adopted it, even though it seems very foreign to what’s being made here, as the image of the city,” said Mo Zell, an associate professor and chair of the UWM architecture department in a 2020 reflection on Calatrava’s Quadracci Pavilion. “That’s a great thing whe...

Milwaukee to renovate 150 of its vacant homes in an effort to create affordable housing and jobs

2022-09-15T10:00:00-04:00

Milwaukee’s $15 million proposal to renovate 150 vacant, city-owned homes is moving forward. On Monday, the Department of City Development (DCD) announced the development teams, a mix of nonprofit and for-profit developers, that will participate in the first round of the Homes MKE initiative. The participants were selected from a request-for-proposals (RFP) process that generated a tremendous response.

A total of 66 proposals were submitted, an unprecedented number according to the DCD, with 15 developers selected. Milwaukee will sell the houses for as little as $1 and provide an estimated $75,000 development subsidy and grant a $5,000 workforce subsidy. Following the renovations, the properties can be sold to owner-occupants, rented out, or placed into a rent-to-own program.

The MKE initiative is funded by $394.2 million in federal money from the American Rescue Plan Act, which was created to offer pandemic aid. As reported by Urban Milwaukee, the properties cannot be flipped to another investor-owner. Unless sold to an owner-occupant, the homes must be developer-owned for at least five years. In addition, developers are required to provide work to unemployed or underemployed city residents. 50% of employees must also reside in a collection of specific zip codes, and they must be paid a living wage of at least $12.21 per hour.

Ennead and Kahler Slater unveil new Milwaukee Public Museum design

2022-07-19T18:30:00-04:00

Ennead Architects and Kahler Slater, together with the Milwaukee Public Museum, have unveiled the design for a new five-story, 200,000-square-foot museum building atop a 2.4-acre site in Milwaukee’s Haymarket neighborhood. It is on track to be the largest cultural project to date in the city.

According to the project team, four core principles influenced the museum’s design: community, nature, education, and the preservation of the museum’s vast collections. It aims to reflect Wisconsin's rich natural history, drawing inspiration from the geological formations within Mill Bluff State Park, while establishing a new community space and educational destination. The museum will also be a hub for research.

The building's material palette will primarily comprise concrete and glass, with an exterior texture that mirrors the ancient sea stacks present in the state park. The museum will have rounded corners that are reminiscent of the erosion and weathering ...

2022-07-07T13:12:00-04:00

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Architecture and Planning (SARUP) has announced Mo Zell as its Interim Dean.

Zell has been an impactful fixture at SARUP, starting her career at the school as an assistant professor in 2008. Since then, she has taught several foundational design studios, acted as Associate Dean from 2012–18, and in 2018 was SARUP's first woman to be a Department Chair.

Before working at SARUP, Zell taught at Yale University, South Carolina School of Arts and Humanities, Clemson University, North Carolina State University, and Northeastern University. Her extensive background as an educator and academic leader is paired with her experience as a licensed architect.

Detail-loving architects can turn timber from a material into a career

2022-06-01T10:24:00-04:00

It’s been a rough couple of years for timber. As we have previously reported, lumber prices across the United States saw a 90% increase in May 2021 on the previous 12 months, adding an extra $36,000 onto the cost of constructing a new home. In a relief for clients and contractors alike, that record high was followed by a record-breaking 40% decline in June 2021, although lumber prices have continued their wide fluctuation into 2022.

Most analysts have laid the blame for this turbulent lumber market on short-term factors. These include pandemic-era labor shortages and supply chain shutdowns, potential looming tariffs imposed by the U.S. on Canadian lumber imports, and even the 2021 Canadian truckers’ strikes.

However, as we outlined in February, these short-term contributors are further compounded by more fundamental long-term impacts. Canadian forests, for example, face ongoing battles with invasive species and forest fires, both caused by warmer, drier winters attributed to climat...

Hip Hop Architect Michael Ford on building a foundation for future generations of BIPOC designers

2022-05-10T14:22:00-04:00

“Getting new voices and pulling new people into architecture is important, but also having a portfolio of good work is important as well,” Ford said. “I think my ultimate legacy, though, for me will be measured by the number of people I inspire to become architects. And not just become architects but to not check their culture at the door. When you can bring your total self into the design world, that’s where you can make a true contribution.”

The “Hip Hop Architect” took Madison.com on a site visit to the local Quarra Stone Co., where granite tiles are being made for a forthcoming installation at the National Guardian Life company’s headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin.

For the project, Ford plans to erect a 25-foot-tall lobby installation with the company’s DEI statement engraved across 360 individual tiles using his own self-developed hieroglyphic alphabet. (“It’s architecture that prompts people to do something,” he explained.)

“I don’t think it's pushing the limit,” the 39-year-old continued, speaking of the corporate commission and another metaverse project for the non-profit Infamous Mothers. “For me, it’s representing what can happen when you bring more diverse minds to architecture and diverse experiences, backgrounds and culture because architecture has lost its mystique of what it once was.

Tres Birds' design for the new Kohler Art Preserve hopes for a Marfa-like impact on Sheboygan

2021-06-29T19:01:00-04:00

The highly anticipated new satellite location of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center has finally opened this week in Sheboygan, Wisconsin following almost a year of Covid-related delays.

Dubbed “The Art Preserve,” the fantastic new 56,000-square-foot facility will serve as the home for the Center’s 25,000-object collection.

Tres Birds was instrumental in developing a plan that would respond to the Center’s focus on in-situ art environments. First, the design team had to structure the three-story exhibition space in a way that could allow exhibitions to recreate elements of the original spaces that the works were created in. The result is a tripartite structure whose “stick, earth, stone” elements are meant to embody the sterling natural environment of the surrounding Sheboygan River Basin.

LA DALLMAN wins 68th Progressive Architecture Award for the transformation of a Historic Grain Elevator

2021-03-26T18:36:00-04:00

LA DALLMAN Architects was recently named as one of five winners of the 68th Annual Progressive Architecture Awards by Architect Magazine for 2021. Their proposal for the transformation of the Teweles and Brandeis Grain Elevator in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin was selected from a total of 125 commissioned, yet unbuilt, entries that best exemplified recent trends in "community engagement, environmental stewardship, and equitable access to services''. With this in consideration, the jury of Koray Duman of Büro Koray Duman, Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang, and Daimian Hines of Hines Architecture + Design through a blind review found LA DALLMAN’s entry to be a great embodiment of community design.

Frank Lloyd Wright's early Usonian Charles and Dorothy Manson House is for sale

2020-06-26T18:23:00-04:00

The Charles and Dorothy Manson house is an early example of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian houses. Designed in 1938 and completed in 1941, the distinctive horizontal roof line descends four levels down the cascading wooded lot on Wausau's prestigious and historic East Hill neighborhood.

Looking to pick up a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house in central Wisconsin? The early 1940s 4-bedroom, 3-bath Charles L. and Dorothy Manson House in Wausau just entered the market.

"Departing from his early Usonian houses with right-angle corners," explains the listing, "Frank Lloyd Wright experimented on using a square unit system but incorporating 30 and 60 degree angles for the Charles L. and Dorothy Manson House. As a result the house varied from a typical I or L plan house and paved the way for Wright to further investigate triangles and parallelograms in his future design."

The asking price for the residence is $425,000.

Consider this though: Does owning a Frank Lloyd Wright home come with a secret curse?

Milwaukee Art Museum set to reopen after $34M renovation and expansion project

2015-11-18T15:06:00-05:00

The Milwaukee Art Museum is due to reopen on 24 November after a 14-month, $34m renovation that brings the institution back from the brink. When the museum made the unorthodox decision to begin planning an expansion at the height of the recession in 2009, mould flourished, floors buckled and ceilings leaked in the two buildings that housed the permanent collection. [...] Roberts says: “People who know our museum will not believe that this is the same museum.”

Another Frank Lloyd Wright house is discovered in Madison

2015-10-26T17:44:00-04:00

[Frank Lloyd] Wright experts announced that the Madison house [that local resident Linda] McQuillen bought for $100,000 has been verified as an American System-Built House, part of Wright's effort to develop and market well-designed homes at a more affordable level — his first effort to reach a broader audience. It's the second such house identified in the past four months, one out of only 16 ever built and 14 still standing...It took years to unearth the evidence about McQuillen's home.

You can read about the first American System-Built House here.
