Architectural Foundation (MAF), whose mission is to promote architecture
to the public. Ms. Rae Dumke is the former Executive Director of MAF,
AIA Michigan (American Institute of Architects Michigan), and AIA
Detroit. She currently serves on the MAF Board of Trustees. Upon her
retirement, an endowment was established in Ms. Dumke’s name through
contributions to MAF.</span></div><div><p style="line-height:115%"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">The
Rae Dumke Collection of 100 essential architecture books was developed
by a MAF committee. The members of this committee were Alan Cobb, Albert
Kahn Associates; Rae Dumke, Honorary AIA; Doug Koschik, Baldwin
Library; Jeffrey Ryntz, Saroki Architecture; Michelle Saroki, Saroki
Architecture; and Stephen Smith, TMP Architecture. Titles were suggested
by architects and other people around the country. Through an endowment
fund set up with the Baldwin Public Library Trust, this collection was
purchased for and will be housed at Baldwin, with the understanding that
the books will be available not only to Baldwin cardholders, but also
nationwide through interlibrary loan. The collection will be updated on a
regular basis. You can find out more about the collection at: <a href="http://baldwinlib.org/100-essential-architecture-books/" target="_blank">http://baldwinlib.org/100-essential-architecture-books/</a> <br></span></p>
The inaugural event of this collection will
take place at the Library. The event begins at 5 p.m. on June 11. The
formal program will begin at 6 p.m. and will feature Stephen Vogel,
FAIA, AIA National Director, AIA Michigan Regional Director, and
Professor and Past Dean for the School of Architecture at University of
Detroit-Mercy.
