Because of my curiosity of the winner's work-- easy to understand considering the sophistication the clips each winning proposal shows, I went on a search to find a blog or web page for each. Unfortunately, I could only find one. Fortunately, it was the first place winner's and it is wicked cool.
The first link shows the project.

rouse[d]
1st Place: Jason Pierce, Illinois
2nd Place: David Wolthers, Denmark
3rd Place: Scott Long, New York
Honorable Mention: 2A_eM design Cooperative, Wisconsin (Jessica Wilcox, Nicholas Reiter, Peter Nguyen)
[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...

something new. something old.
I was introduced to something new this month.
and I got to say. its definitely has got me rocking lately to do a bit more photograpy and design work. hopefully these things will be either posted here or on my personal blog.
this little thing caught my eye recently.
while the team was in detroit we noticed this cute little thing being put up.
We didn't think much of it then. but now looking back, we should have played detective and really checked it out. :(
maybe next time we'll be a little more alert about our surroundings.
heres the link if your interested in reading up on it.
enjoy.

detroit is burning
only a few hours ago a tanker, carrying diesel motor fuel [all too ironic], lost control, crashed into a bridge and exploded. a series of explosions followed ultimately ending with a melted overpass. the location; i-75, near nine mile road.

stalking detroit
[ a short story.... ]
peter gave a preview to peak curiosities a while back. here is a little more light to be shed.
we [ 2AeM ], and our photography friend [ cggaffer ] set out in our trusty 1986 ford mustang... convertible. taking to the roads like ants in a line. breaking through the jams of chicago, surviving gary, crossing into michigan we began to hit some snags...
shortly upon crossing the border our skillful repair of the canvas top (with loads of duct tape) was lacerated by air resistance. enjoying the fresh air we settled back in, three passed out passengers, one deft driver...
awoken by a loud rumble, a little stunned and surprised, we could no longer hear the static slightly resembling jack white's conquest spinning through a yellow portable cd player. looking back gave us our answer. we were shooting sparks down the highway... streaking through the midnight darkness.
we pulled off on exit 239 (black dot_left) and jacked up our car. then we jacked the car more with the gas attendant's spare from her truck. finding the exhaust pipe bent around the rear axle we began applying some elbow grease. an off duty cop and mechanic pulled through.... only the mechanic stopped.
it took a while, but we stashed the muffler and tail pipe behind a group of tall pines. treasure to bring back with us. only one more hour to our campsite.... in hell, michigan. no really, it's the black dot furthest right on the diagram. we camped adjacent to a bike bath in the recreation area... because we drove around for an hour and a half without finding an apparent campsite.
we awoke to confused hikers the next morning. bright and early we set out to stalk detroit.

So it begins.
We finally took flight, and I'm hoping when we land this week we hit the ground running.
Here are some "grass" pics i took
A mystery shot has been placed to keep your attention and curiosity about the stories that lay behind.
hopefully jess, or nick will chime in with the details after the break. :D
