Fabrication and Design work from Michigan and LTU faculty

A colleague of James’s sent the following information.  You should all review it.  I especially like the work by Area, a previous UO faculty member.

Some of the more reasonable studios and firms run by faculty at UM and LTU:

Ply Architecture http://www.plyarch.com/

Monica Ponce de Leon Studio (former Office d’A leader) no website yet

area architecture http://www.area-architecture.com/blog/

m1/DTW http://www.m1dtw.com/

RVTR http://rvtr.com/

Studio Couture Detroit http://studiocouturedetroit.org/

Studio Ci http://studio-ci.net/ (urban planning)

Beebe Skidmore http://beebeskidmore.com/

Here are a few profs who don’t have firms but do their own thing fairly well:

Neal Robinson http://taubmancollege.umich.edu/faculty/directory/index.php?sel=137)

Lars Graebner (former Libeskind lead designer) http://taubmancollege.umich.edu/faculty/directory/index.php?sel=112

Stephen Mankouche http://ateliermankouche.com/index.html

LTU has their Detroit Studio and Detroit Shop

And Craig Wilkins is the director of the UM Detroit studios
