How to Travel Like an Architect in … Detroit


This year alone, Detroit has become the (contentious) focus of the US pavilion at the Venice Biennale, the first American city to be named a UNESCO City of Design as well as the host of this year’s IdeasCity conference with the New Museum. As if the Motor City did not already offer enough excuses to explore, these accolades beg another look at the city’s storied architecture and urban landscape.

Going beyond borders, oceans, and thinking of the continents as a continuous entity comes from this vision. Fifty years later, we face the existential threat of ecological disaster, and maybe revisiting the whole earth project seems like a way of recapturing that drive. This proposal looks at a network of towers that span across the oceans connecting the planet in a matrix that provides energy cleans the oceans and gives new chances for life to thrive. Fusion, Solar, and Hydro-power are used in this matrix with all of these being in high abundance in the ocean.
