Meet INFORM’s newest Architectural Designer, Louisa Zheng! Louisa has six years of experience working on projects across scales. She believes design has inherent power to shape the lived experiences of people. Growing up in Michigan, she moved to Chicago to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and fell in love with this city. Her journey has meandered across sectors and disciplines, including office interiors, a community center, and corridor studies. What drew Louisa to INFORM is the shared vision for creating better public and cultural spaces for people. Louisa is inspired by and active in the art and maker scenes in Chicago; she encourages everyone to buy art and shop local. In her free time, she enjoys slow mornings with coffee and a good book, while keeping her fingers crossed that her garden from year one will make it to year two! Louisa is passionate about bringing together design and community. We are thrilled to have her as part of the INFORM team, and we look forward to the creative and impactful work she’ll bring to our projects! A quote she lives by is “...when you a build a thing you cannot merely build that thing in isolation, but must also repair the world around it, and within it..." - A Pattern Language, by Christopher Alexander, Murray Silverstein, and Sara Ishikawa. Join us in welcoming her to the INFORM family!

Designed as a Net Zero Energy space, the center not only generates its own power but also restores green space, provides essential public amenities, and supports the cultural, educational, and retail destinations that link downtown Providence to the park.
