Integrating Infrastructure and Architecture

Abstract

How can architecture make more stimulating infrastructure, and how can infrastructure make more provocative architecture? Is there a construct of connection, integration or common ground? By creating an Urban infrastructure oriented development this project will show how architecture and infrastructure can be connected in function, and in design. The project will seek to create a mixed use development on existing and redeveloped transportation corridors in the city of Detroit, Michigan. The project will propose new methods of transportation in which new developments may ne spurred upon. The goal of this project is to create an environment where one can live and work, in a walkable urban fabric with easy access to efficient, clean, and well designed transportation infrastructure.
