THE CENTER

Robin Cohen finds them at estate sales.
"I love the Saarinen designs and the
fact that they have local inspiration','
Cohen says.
Saarinen furniture designs have
become heirlooms for his relatives
still living in Michigan. Birmingham
architect Robert S. Swanson, the son of
Eero's sister Pipsan Saarinen Swanson
and architect J. Robert F. Swanson, owns
"Tulip" chairs and has passed along a
"Womb" chair to his daughter, Karen
Swanson, a fourth-generation architect.
"I think the exhibit will help advance
the fact that [my uncle] was one of the
great architects of all time,' Swanson
says. "I didn't know Aline very well, but
I know she was an able writer, particu-
larly with her [1958] book The Proud
Possessors, which was about art collec-
tors." Li

"Eero Saarinen: Shaping the
Future" can be seen Nov.17-

a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesdays-Sundays

Friday of each month. $10 adults,

nied by an adult. (877) 462-7262.
The International Saarinen

portation between Cranbrook and

MESMERIZING

OFFICIAL SELECTION

Kroloff opened a private prac-
tice with Casey Jones, his busi-
ness and personal partner and
a University of Michigan gradu-
ate. Jones/Kroloff, established
to advise a range of clients on
architect selection and design
strategy, continues under the
prime management of Jones, relo-
cated to Michigan. Clients have
included the Whitney Museum of
American Art and the University
of Connecticut.
Long before thinking about
moving to Bloomfield Hills, Kroloff
found architects for the Motown
Center, a proposed museum school
planners had hoped to build in
Detroit. Kroloff's first experience
as a competition adviser was for a
Phoenix synagogue.
"I feel quite comfortable, proud
and completely fascinated with
what it means to be Jewish,"
says Kroloff, who did not have a
bar mitzvah because of schedul-
ing conflicts with extracurricular
activities. "I studied religion very
heavily in school.
"I would not call myself reli-
gious, but I Identify as Jewish. I'm

very concerned about issues that
affect Jews, particularly human
rights and equal rights, and I'm an
advocate for those not accorded
those same rights and privileges."
Kroloff, who won the American
Academy in Rome's 2003 Rome
Prize Fellowship and whose work
was profiled in a 2004 New York
Times article, serves on numer-
ous boards and advisory coun-
cils, including a section of the
United States General Services
Administration and the Public
Architecture Foundation.
The new director, whose work in
managing an art museum will pro-
vide a fresh experience, welcomes
the opportunity to be close to a
major city as it looks for new vis-
tas of advancement.
"Detroit is interesting to my
partner and me because of the
continuing [issues] of urban
design, economic vitality and the
strength of the social compact
— in other words, the civic arena,"
he says. "We are fascinated by
that and have devoted our lives to
trying to improve it in one way or
another."
