[D]escription:
rouse[D] is a two part competition and exhibition. rouse[D] will focus on re-inventing the city of Detroit through the use of digital computation methodologies!
Experimental and innovative design ideas through exhibition.
This is an international open ideas competition challenging people to come up with designs that will rouse the city of Detroit and encourage an evolution of our understanding of its unique urban environment. We have studied, examined, photographed, and proposed our ideas many times over, but how can we begin to take action to improve the overall condition of what so many believe to be a modern day ruins? Every city has its history and Detroit is no different, but now it’s our turn to “bounce back” and maybe not in the traditional or conventional way, but in a new, unprecedented way that is specific to the one-of-a-kind condition Detroit presents to us. So the solution too, will be one-of-a-kind specific to our Detroit… let’s see what you’ve got…
here's what we got...
wonderful. insightful, poetic, architectural. landscape, visionary, epic, serial, composed. sited, rooted, foreshadowed, real, imaginary, mythic, native, historic, futuristic. Hard to see why you didnt place higher... however, thesis projects or studio projects are had to compete with when you are proposing something from the outside. Great to see, way to represent, you must get this out there more! It's inspirational. Send it to the city of detroit.
