Marble Manor Murals

By -
Artists Dayo Adelaja and Mark Melnick have completed Phase One of the Marble Manor Enhancement Project. Bland, blank walls are banished after community members worked with them to create these space-transforming murals.

Our portion of the work (architecture and landscape enhancements) is scheduled for a tentative grand opening in September 2008.

Contact Anne Johnson, AIA if you'd like to be involved in this project as a Community Partner! Contributions of labor and materials are needed.

Spotlight: An Alternate Path to Architecture Licensure   At Sparkflight Studios, we celebrate the unique journeys our team members take to grow as professionals.

That family influence planted the seed for his own path in architecture, and now, as he completes his bachelo r’s degree, he’s mapping out the next steps toward licensure.   Instead of pursuing a traditional master’s program, he has chosen the apprenticeship route through the Architectural Experience Program (AXP), formerly the Intern Development Program (IDP). This decision allows him to balance work and school while focusing his energy on what matters most to him: hands-on learning i...
