Quinn Evans Architects has shared some photos of their completed work on the newly remade Michigan Central Station in Detroit. The home of the Ford Motor Company’s 1.2-million-square-foot technology hub in the historic Corktown district re-established the 110-year-old landmark through an expedited six-year process described as a "hybrid approach" by senior associate Angela Wyrembelski.
The project is the largest central piece included in the 30-acre master plan from Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU). The building re-opened for the first time since closing in 1988 over the weekend with a star-studded musical performance and remarks from special guests like Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Integral to the design team were several native Detroiters and proud alumni of the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning (more on that here.) The project was completed at a cost of $950 million, helping the firm to be named as the AIA Architecture Firm Award winner for 2024 earlier this year.

I wish I had been at the concert celebration. Jack White's performance looked amazing from all the clips I saw online. This is a decent clip but not the best one. https://www.instagram.com/offi...
Here's the full clip of the Seven Nation Army performance. So kickass.

So glad they saved this icon. How American to have a gorgious Beaux Arts palace to transportation and max out on the real estate with a giant skyscraper behind it!
