ON THE COVER: The Eda U. Gerstacker Grove at the University of Michigan by Stoss Landscape Urbanism.

Featured Story: “Northern Star,” by Zach Mortice. The University of Michigan’s midcentury North Campus was an emblem of then-current campus design—suburban and car-centric but lacking a feeling of place. With a few deft moves, Stoss Landscape Urbanism’s redesign of the central quad brought in light, texture, and topographical drama, and the students followed.
