We’re proud to support the nature center at Arch Rock Plaza, designed in partnership with the State of Michigan and the Department of Natural Resources. To maximize natural light and preserve the island’s iconic views, the 2,000-square-foot facility features #SunGuard™ SNX 62/27 on Guardian #UltraClear™ low-iron #glass for exceptional #clarity, solar control, and minimal reflectivity. To further protect the environment, Guardian #Bird1st™ UV was incorporated to help reduce bird collisions: a meaningful addition for a site intended to blend seamlessly with nature. 🐦 Designed with Universal Design principles and aligned with Living Building Challenge and #LEED® standards, this space ensures #accessibility and a deeper connection to the outdoors. 🌿 Learn more about this wonderful project: https://lnkd.in/dXWMFTXF Architect: TowerPinkster Fabricator: Traverse City Glass Co Glazier: Thompson Innovative Glass #GuardianGlass #SeeWhatsPossible

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Frank Gehry at the age of 96, a major figure of contemporary #architecture who inspired generations of designers, architects and enthusiasts. From the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and Frank O. Gehry Building to the Fondation Louis Vuitton and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, his #buildings redefined architectural boldness. Gehry never stopped exploring, challenging forms, and showing that architecture can be a field of expression as poetic as it is radical. His vision, imagination and willingness to take risks will continue to shape our cities and our culture. Thank you, Frank Gehry, for everything you built and for everything you allowed us to imagine. 📸 Photo by Mike Blake/Reuters
