MAKING His MARK

from page 28

Everywhere he traveled, he met
warm, receptive colleagues who invited
him to lecture on his favorite subject
— art in architecture.
In South America, he had memorable
reunions with the few members of his
family who had escaped from Europe
during World War II. But these
reunions were bittersweet because most
of his immediate family had been lost
in the Grodno and Warsaw ghettos
when the Germans occupied Poland.

Redstone's architectural works in
Michigan include a great variety of
notable buildings.
He designed homes for Tom
Borman, William Sucher, himself and
members of his family. His commercial
structures include the 333 W. Fort
Street Building in Detroit, the original
Somerset Mall in Troy, the
Manufacturer's National Bank
Operation Center in Detroit and in
Livonia, and the Southfield Comerica
Bank Towers, which house the present
Redstone offices.
He also built many award-winning
schools for the city of Detroit, each
with an interior masonry mural, often
in an inner courtyard.
In the early 1960s, Redstone became
chairman of the Urban Design

Collaborative, which studied and pro-
posed plans for Detroit's central busi-
ness district. One plan included creat-
ing an international village complex
capitalizing on the ethnic backgrounds
of the city's population: a French quar-
ter, a Spanish-Mexican district, a
Chinatown, etc., with appropriate
shops and restaurants, but the plan was
never realized.
But there were plenty of plans that
went forward. A large commission was
for the Lawrence Technological
University Buell Building of
Management and Student Activity in
Southfield, which houses the library
underground lit by clerestory windows.
Redstone Associates also was commis-
sioned to renovate the U-M East
Engineering Building, and more recent-
ly to construct the Michigan State
University Clinical Radiology Facility.
Possibly most important and familiar
to all who travel abroad is the Michael
Berry International Terminal at Detroit
Metropolitan Airport, designed by
Redstone in 1974.
Over the years, Louis Redstone
Associates has employed several associ-
ate architects, but none has given
Redstone more pride than his older son
Daniel, also an architect, who was first
an associate and now is president of the
firm.
