Architecture Detroit Monument Collective Memory Pavilion Components Threshold <p>Jerry Herron predicts “Detroit, once a symbol of American competitive vitality, is now a symbol of the first urban domino to fall.” The buildings reveal this uniquely volatile urban narrative via architectural methods such as program, construction technique, and form in contrast between the neighborhoods.</p><p>Instead of disintegrating into a ruin, Detroit’s collective memory of place will drive the reconstruction of Woodward Avenue as a cultural landmark, defining the city as a tourist hub. Architectural climax defines the narrative of the city, from the industrial building phase, through the infrastructural surge, and to this proposed tourism phase. By divorcing historic form from the lost original use and context, a new story can be inserted within the now malleable framework open for redesign to morph passive artifacts into active monuments (at varying scales).The collective memory is revealed and exaggerated along Woodward Avenue, the central spine of the city both physically (in plan and section) and culturally. The methodology of temporal collage combines this collective memory with progression of change and future projection to design architectural interjections along the Woodward Avenue Tour at thresholds between distinct experiential segments of the 27-mile artery. These thresholds implicate spectacle and attraction to thresholds, monuments and voids. </p><p>The climax (and start) of the tour is the Detroit Pavilion, showcasing the cities urban structure, experiential sequences and architecture, which is the form of this unique context. The pavilion saturates monumental empty space with individuality and significance to shape Detroit’s urban identity. The pavilion site is the node of growth and downfall in Detroit, which encapsulates significance and memory for locals along with an opportunity and interest for tourists.</p> 2011-09-26 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1306503019 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1306503019 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
