  • "Limitness" - Mike Ford
    2022/12/05

    Michael Ford, known as the "Hip-Hop Architect", is an architect, designer, educator, and keynote speaker whose years of research, publications, and lectures seek to fuse his two passions, hip-hop culture, and architecture. In hip-hop architecture, Ford provides an alternative to the western canon in architecture and urban theory. This model not only celebrates diversity but also appeals to young people of color, encouraging them to join the profession and think critically about the built environment they live in.  Ford is a professor in the architecture program at Madison College and the founder of BrandNu Design.

    Ford was born and raised in Highland Park, Michigan, just outside of Detroit

  • "Duality" - Naomi Beasley-Porter
    2022/11/28

    Naomi Beasley-Porter is a native Detroiter and lover of all things Detroit. She is a proud East Sider and Cass Technician with a Master's Degree in Architecture from the  University of Detroit Mercy (where she also adjuncts). With a combined 10+ years of experience, Naomi worked in architecture firms but was searching for more fulfilling work. Post professional architectural practice, she translated her skillset to development finance with the City of Detroit, where she currently manages federal funds to support the building of various affordable housing development types. Naomi has found passion in doing work where the outcome directly benefits the people of Detroit; and is invested in continuing to learn, grow, and evolve to have an even greater impact in her City.

    When Naomi is not working, she loves to spend time with her husband, family, and friends, explore Detroit, try new foods, and watch Christmas movies. In years past, she has been active with various organizations within her community and the architectural profession; she looks forward to circling back soon.

  • "Detroit Adjacent" - Kendal Bowman
    2022/11/21

    Kendal Bowman is a licensed Architect in Illinois and Michigan with 14+ years of experience in the profession of design.  He is currently the Principal of Arcos Studio, LLC [Arcos] along with a Project Architect at TMP Architecture, INC [TMP] doing incremental development and Educational Architecture respectively.  Over the years, he has garnered experience in a myriad of Architectural sectors allowing for his portfolio of work to extend from historic renovation and preservation of existing buildings in Detroit to Airport Additions in Abu Dhabi.  At every juncture, Kendal has quickly and effectively learned the intricacies of each sector to become an indispensable part of a team.

    As Principal of Arcos Studio, Kendal has returned to his hometown - Pontiac, Michigan - to work through the development of the city with the mantra ‘Access + Equity By Design.  He is focusing on affordably renovating single and multi-family homes while producing developments at a smaller scale for the community.  He is actively involved with community-based programs and independently working with individuals looking to further their experience in the Architecture and Design field. 

    His position at TMP as a Project Architect has afforded him the opportunity to work on educational architecture in urban landscapes with the hopes of providing a much-needed voice to the design process.

    From a community lens, he is President-elect for the Detroit Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects looking to build on the success of his predecessors and leave his mark on the chapter where he can.
