After interviewing four different Architectural
firms...from Minnesota to Wisconsin, Norden Folk's Building & Grounds
committe selected the Architectural Design
Group of Menomonie Wisconsin. Coming to a decision was difficult because
of the superlative qualifications of all the candidates. Now comes the difficult
part: developing a design plan that will not conflict with the original Alvar
Alto concept, in the event our organization still wishes to go forward with
that plan, some time in the future. Our first building must make an absolute
statement about the "Scandinavianness" of our organization. It must announce
it to all comers, be welcoming and open to everyone: adults and children,
Scandinavians and people of other cultures.

With
Architectural Design Groups's architect Tim Peterson, members of the Building
and Grownds committee walked the wooded site in Dunn County, trying to determine
some optimum locations for the site of Norden Folk's first building.
With nearly 70 acres of prime oak and mixed hardwoods bluff-land to locate upon, the choice isn't easy; everyone has a different idea of our organization's future needs. And...what is Scandinavian style, anyway?
These are just some of the "opportunities" architect Tim Peterson will have to sort out for our group, in hopes of developing the first conceptual designs and color presentation drawings suitable for our fall, fund raising event.
