Michigan Modern

Michigan Modern MichiganModern is a collaborative effort to celebrate the state's key role in the Modernism movement.

Michigan Modern is a collaborative effort between the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office and those with a passion for modern architecture and design to create a greater appreciation for Modern design in Michigan, reclaim Michigan's rightful place as an international leader in design, and to transform the state's image from the tired cliche of "Rust Belt" to one that recognizes the incredible innovation and design taking place in the state today.

The City of Livonia is searching for a private partner to help write the next chapter for the Gunnar Birkerts-designed Alfred Noble Library. The library opened in 1967 and was noted for its strategic use of clerestory windows, bringing diffused, natural light into the book stacks and other areas of the building. The building was closed in 2019 due to water and mold issues, and had been proposed for demolition, but a task force formed in late 2025 has shifted the conversation from removal to adaptive reuse.
