I was privileged to join the discussion this week at #LeadingAge24 in Nashville presenting Marvel’s work on Stonewall House.

The new 5-story Class A office building at 2440 Fulton Street is almost complete in Brooklyn, New York. The 400,000 SF building will be home to the New York City Department of Social Services' (DSS) Human Resources Administration, with an additional 80,000 SF of private-market commercial space, retail at the base, and parking for 300 vehicles. Looking forward to completion!

Come connect with us at the AIA Women’s Leadership Summit 2024! BWAF executive director Tizziana Baldenebro will join Annya Y. Ramirez-Jimenez, AIA (Partner, Marvel ), Jennifer Rice Stone (Partner, RAMSA | Robert A.M. Stern Architects), and Gaylin M. Bowie, NOMA (Associate, RAMSA | Robert A.M. Stern Architects) on October 9, 11am-12pm, for the ‘Strategies for Mentorship, Networking, & Sponsorship in Architecture’ panel. “Join us for a panel discussion that delves into the critical, interconnected roles of mentorship, networking, and sponsorship within the architectural and design community. Our panelists, representing both for-profit and nonprofit sectors, will share their insights and success stories. During the conversation, we’ll explore the influence of professional networks and their potential to positively influence the industry. We’ll also consider how diverse communities—including architects, artists, interior designers, landscape designers, urban planners, historians, preservationists, city officials, neighbors, and students—foster collaboration and innovation. We’ll examine how community-building initiatives, from lectures to exhibitions to volunteer work, strengthen bonds and drive progress.” Via AIA WLS Visit the link for more info and to register https://bit.ly/4dtawbK

The theme of the third M/10 Challenge event was public work and design excellence. Marvel partners Annya Y. Ramirez-Jimenez, AIA and Tim Fryatt, AIA moderated the discussion with Michaela Metcalfe of the NYC Department of Design and Construction and Aileen Fuchs, President and Executive Director of the National Building Museum.    For over a decade, Aileen has been working at the intersection of site-specific historic interpretation, adaptive-reuse activations, and cultural destination-making. Aileen asks Marvel to consider what non-technical skills the next generation of architects needs to have, in the reality of an aging American population.    #designeverywhereforeveryone #M10 #M10Challenge

Marvel celebró recientemente la gran inauguración de Casa Kai, el Centro de Artes y Tecnología de Puerto Rico (PRCAT), en Santurce, Puerto Rico. Esta intervención representa la finalización de la Fase 1 del proyecto: la rehabilitación y reparación del edificio histórico de la década de 1920.      El diseño toma en cuenta y responde al carácter histórico del la estructura existente y la experiencia de un especialista en conservación, lo que resultó en un nuevo espacio sensible, que respeta y honra su historia y que ofrece programas educativos modernos centrados en la tecnología de la construcción, las artes digitales, las artes visuales y las artes escénicas. La noche celebró a los jóvenes artistas locales y el impacto comunitario que tendrá este querido y significativo edificio.   Representando a Marvel: Ramon Irizarry, Raquel Marrero, José Juan Terrasa-Soler, Karen J. Cuadro Esteves, Ernesto L. Vázquez González, Juan C. Feliciano.   —   Marvel recently celebrated the grand opening of Casa Kai, Puerto Rico Center for Arts and Technology's (PRCAT), in Santurce Puerto Rico.

The second M/10 Challenge event featured an engaging conversation about the public realm in Brooklyn as we envision our next ten years of practice. Partner Scott Demel moderated the discussion with Hunter Armstrong of the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative and Regina Myer of Downtown Brooklyn Partnership.   Hunter Armstrong, the Executive Director of the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative, brings nearly two decades of experience in improving public spaces and the public realm in New York City.   Hunter challenges Marvel to consider stakeholders beyond just the client—people who may never enter the building or project but are part of the surrounding context.   #designeverywhereforeveryone #M10 #m10challenge
