create a starting point for socialmovement using architecture asa tool.
Detroit - the community of people who care about the future, have ahope as well as their own memoriesand attachments to this city.“I want to stay here and grow mychildren here”- claims a young womenmet in the empty street of Detroit. It becomes clear, that this city hasprobably even more mental valuesand potential comparing to someother metropolitan cities all over theworld. Positive energy of eachindividual creates an attraction forcethat results in the will to stay, to livecomfortably and to develop the place.A�ected by the real values of city, Idevelop a project that is rather socialexperiment than architectural project.The main idea is : “I care even if I don`towe this”. It is based on human careafter the surrounding he or she lives in.I uncover the issue of ‘mental lots’ inthe vacant �elds that have no physicalgrid of lots anymore, but the radial zonesmeasured by human eye. It shouldevoke one`s understanding that bytaking care after the things that do notnecessarily belong to us (in this casethe environment around one`s housing), we can create a good place to live in.
