Raymón “Ray” Richardson is a Design Professional at The Collaborative + Acock (Ann Arbor office) where he contributes to design development, visualization, and documentation. Ray is a recent Master of Architecture graduate from Taubman College and recipient of the Willeke Prize.
While at Taubman College, his thesis positioned Detroit’s I-375 corridor as evidence of the infrastructural violence embedded in American mobility, arguing for degrowth-oriented speculative futures that slow the city down, repair historic erasures, and reimagine the sunken highway as a site of collective architectural authorship.
Ray’s prior experience includes preservation-focused design work at Thomas Porter Architects (Toledo office) and teaching roles at Taubman College and the ArcPrep program in Detroit, supporting emerging young designers. Beyond architectural practice, he pursues photography and coaches youth soccer — continually exploring how spatial thinking and seeing can strengthen community, connection, and everyday urban life.
