Detroit today is the city of unplanned voids and I would argue that it can no longer operate on the same scale. This is why I am redesigning Detroit on the scale of the neighbourhood. I am using the site including the Fox, Fillmore, Cliff Bell’s and Colony club theatres as the testing ground of the proposed size. Within the neighbourhood reinvigorating the abandoned infrastructure and its elements that are losing their meaning due to the condition of the city. Through doing so the project is recalling the forgotten memories of Detroit.

DETROIT NEIGHBOURHOOD

The site becomes an independent from its context neighbourhood.

THE FILLMORE

Fillmore Theatre as one of the nodes of the neighbourhood.

THEATRES INTERVENTION

Reduced office towers behind the facades and extended structural rhythm.

PROSCENIUM

Prolonged proscenium arch visually blurs relationship between the interior and exterior.

OBTAINED CONTEXT

Context reinvigorates the neighbourhood into a cultural hub.

COLONY CLUB

Colony Club's designed supporting structure proliferates into the parking canopy.

CLIFF BELL'S

Cliff Bell's and its gained context.

INVERTED BACKSTAGE

Inverted backstage condition highlights the significant.

GLORIFIED MUSEUM

The site as a glorified museum to a memory of Black Bottom.

RECALLING THE FORGOTTEN

Isolated neighbourhood that recalls the forgotten memories of Detroit.
