At the Rondo Commemorative Plaza, 4RM+ULA transformed an historically significant vacant lot into a tribute to the Old Rondo neighborhood that welcomes new Rondo to celebrate. The neighborhood was once home to the largest African American community in Saint Paul until, like so many historic black districts across the country, it was demolished to make room for an interstate highway (I-94).

To commemorate the neighborhood’s history of overcoming persistent racism and oppression, local non-profit Rondo Avenue Inc. (RAI) engaged 4RM+ULA to design the Rondo Commemorative Plaza. With a mission to creatively renew the urban condition, the proposed design merges memory with modernity and incorporates a mixture of landscaping and on-site interpretative spaces in a quiet escape from freeway noise and traffic.

The proposed space is fit for play and although is a small in scale, the project has generated substantial community support, and it is a catalyst for ongoing neighborhood improvements.

Happy Everyone! We would like to introduce our MSRP Intern Malcolm Brom!

He went to the University of Michigan for undergrad and graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Master of Architecture. This spring he is working on his Master of Science in Research Practices.

His interest in architecture originally came from a desire to use both artistic and technical skills in college but has turned into an interest in how unseen or unnoticed aspects of how to create buildings that affect people's lives.

Some of his favorite things to do are to hike, travel, and draw.

“My favorite thing about 4RM+ULA is the team's commitment to community and justice in design work.” - Malcolm
