lecturesHAA is dedicated to creating a broader creative discourse through open and collaborative dialogue. The program includes lectures and discussions throughout the year that will consider important contemporary design issues associated with the urban environment.
The 2010 program for is titled, “Challenging Detroit: (Re)generating Urbanism.” This program provides an important platform for consideration of innovative, multidisciplinary strategies designed to help the city not only create reinvestment and redevelopment, but also begin to regenerate the social, economic and environmental attributes that define it. Now, more than ever, we need to come together to understand how we can effectively participate in the thoughtful, creative regeneration of Detroit.
The public is encouraged to attend these free events. Please visit our facebook page or return to rogueHAA for post lecture discussions, future topics, and dates.
EVENT 08: Panel Discussion
“DECONSTRUCTION DETROIT : A (Re)generation strategy”
Deconstruction is the selective dismantling of building components, specifi cally for re-use, recycling, and waste management. If this practice is integrated within the city of Detroit and the metropolitan region, the effects may be profound. Physically, deconstruction facilitates the extension of a building material’s lifetime, providing a sustainable alternative to the conventional demolition of several thousand vacant buildings. Economically, at a regional scale, a well organized deconstruction program promotes a viable industry. While socially, stewardship of the deconstruction effort provides a positive image for our city and region. During this August event, five local professionals will present their past and current deconstruction efforts. Following their presentations, an informal panel discussion will query balanced, and sometimes contradictory, dialogue on the (Re)generation of Detroit, one deconstruction effort at a time.
