Angela Wyrembelski Interviewed by SBN Detroit on Sustainable Architecture

Senior associate Angela Wyrembelski, AIA, was interviewed by SBN Detroit to discuss Quinn Evans’ approach to sustainable design, adaptive reuse, and the innovative tools revolutionizing the architecture industry.

In the interview, Angela emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainability and reimagining historic structures for modern use across Michigan, as seen in projects like the iconic Michigan Central Station, the Checker Cab building, Element Detroit at the Metropolitan, and the residences at Walter French.

At the core of our approach is valuing what already exists. Reusing and adapting existing structures is our first line of defense against excessive carbon emissions…By preserving and repurposing buildings, we significantly reduce that impact while maintaining the historical and cultural integrity of structures that communities value.
