Originally built in 1917; Fargo’s First Lutheran Church has served as a rock of solace, inspiration, spiritual training and community service for over a hundred years. In 2017, continued parish growth and a need to modernize its original facilities inspired Senior Pastor Corey Biertness and his dedicated assembly of pastors to initiate a fundraising drive which successfully provided the church with the means to undertake a much-needed expansion. Drawing assistance from its congregation for the expansion, First Lutheran enlisted Mike Wild, principal local architectural firm wild | crg, and Dallas Anderson, lead audio designer of Tricorne Audio, Inc., for facility design and A/V systems planning/integration. Art Phillips, another long-time member of the congregation and the owner of a successful local recording studio, recommended global architectural and acoustic design firm WSDG to handle the all-important acoustic considerations of the expansion in order to ensure improved speech intelligibility and live music performance clarity.
Henning Larsen Presents Design for Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Our design is inspired by the rich landscapes of the North Dakotan Badlands, united by Theodore Roosevelt’s legacy, and rooted in the community of Medora.
In a single, dark February day in 1884, Theodore Roosevelt’s mother and wife passed within hours of each other – an event he commemorated in his diary: “The light has gone out of my life.” Deep in grief, he journeyed from New York City to Medora, North Dakota, where his time in the Badlands would come to transform and define him as the man, conservationist, and American civic icon we remember today.
