Carrying the Story Forward.

Our approach is rooted in three commitments: preserving Detroit’s architectural history, investing in the next generation through student scholarships and remembering Dan’s life and work.

Each of those commitments is a way of ensuring that Dan’s unbounded love for the city of Detroit will continue to inspire for years to come.
