GraďŹƒti in Detroit
Initially, graďŹƒti was a gang symbol. Several of them who were talented in painting began to design new labels by themselves because of their dissatisfaction with the ugly gang labels. From then on, these gang symbols became good-looking.
Some homeless and venting people express themselves on the wall.
Nowadays, graffiti has become a kind of art. Graffiti artists not only express their inspiration on the wall, but also harmonize the social status with an aesthetic attitude.
Graffiti Location (Park,Projcet...etc) In recent years, Detroit has become a gathering point for graffiti artists, and the city has nourished their imagination and creativity. The "city of cars" Detroit once had a glorious industry, declared bankruptcy in 2013, and ruins are now everywhere. Perhaps it is this kind of environment that inspired graffiti artists. Various types of graffiti can be seen inside and outside the barren and ruined buildings. Graffiti artists use their work to document the evolution of Detroit street art culture.

For 4 years graffiti in the Market has utilized the power of public art to unify residents, artists, visitors, business owners and community stakeholders. Graffiti in the Market activates new and underutilized spaces within Eastern Market while facilitating compelling connections
between visitors by telling important stories of the local community.At the core of graffiti in the Market is the goal of building long lasting, meaningful relationships with community investors whether it’s l o ca l b u si n e ss o wn e rs, a rti st s, educational institutions, or non-
profits to help carry on the legacy of public art while creating pride, more unified safe neighborhoods, and facilitating compelling connections between residents, visitors, and and stakeholders.

Most of the buildings in the eastern market are commercial shops, with 4 markers as the center, and many trade shops surrounding it. But at the same time, there are also some large abandoned factories in this area, and large areas of open space to be developed.

Timeline of Eastern Market
In 1891, sales sheds were built and the Farmer's Market was moved from Cadillac Square to its present location and renamed Eastern Market.
Following World War II, more wholesalers and food processors moved into the area, and Eastern Market developed into an important hub for the wholesale food distribution industry.
The Farmer's Market in Detroit was first opened in 1841 at Cadillac Square in the downtown area.
Markets Stores
This area is mainly the warehouses of the western market and the small shops around.

Hours of Operation The eastern market is busy during the summer and many people come to shop on weekends.
SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT
In September, the Eastern Market will also hold art graffiti events. After the artists create, they also hold various parties. There will also be performers around the market. Flowers Day Before and after Mother's Day, there will be several months of flower days in the eastern market.
Site Analysis There is a large amount of unused land in the site, the land use is uneven, and there are also many unused factories. This has resulted in a limited range of personnel activities.
Factory Markets and Shops
Land Use
Scope of Personnel Activities
Case Study Along the Dequindre Cut and Gratiot Avenue, where less of the historic fabric s u rviv e s , de ns e re sid en t ia l mixe d -us e development is proposed. An increase in the local residential population will enliven the public realm, especially in the evening, when Eastern Market is mostly deserted. The twist, in this case, is that fabrication and light manufacturing spaces are encouraged on the ground floor rather than retail. The goal is to encourage smaller-scale food and fabrication businesses that complement the larger-scale facilities being planning in the market expansion area. In addition, favoring fabrication spaces over retail will help steer retail businesses closer to the market sheds, where food-focused retail already benefits from the busy public market.
Proposal Average site land use and increase land utilization. Strengthen this area as a cultural center. Alleviate the reduction in personnel due to the off-season market.

The plan is divided into three areas, commercial area, cultural area and natural residential area. From the prosperous area to the cultural area and then to the quiet natural space.
Project Brief Cultural Area
Landscape Square Tr a ff i c System Walking, biking trails and horseback riding trails replace some areas where cars are driving. In this way, people are allowed to move slowly in this area to enjoy more scenery and culture.
Renovated Factory
The landscape square is in a natural environment. Most of these buildings are giant building installations.
The abandoned factory has been transformed into a multi-functional center. Divided into upper and lower floors, the upper floor can be viewed.
Connecting Bridge
Music Area
The bridge connecting each node can pass pedestrians and bicycles, and there are restaurants under the bridge at each entrance.
Divided into two parts, the indoor is a concert hall, and the outdoor can form an open-air singing square with the landscape.
Commercial Pedestrian Street
Commercial street for pedestrians and bicycles only.
Graffiti Park
There are many graffiti walls in the park.
Sculpture Garden
There are many art sculptures and installations in the garden, and there are some open spaces for artists to create.
Residential Area
Most of the area is shops and shops, transformed from abandoned buildings, and pedestrian passages connect these buildings.
Residential houses are in the environment, scattered around the ranch.
Horse farms open to tourists can rent horses to ride in natural areas.
There are thick trees and a few artworks in the Heidelberg project, which guide visitors to the Heidelberg project.
Natural Area
Riding Trail
It is a newly divided traffic flow line in the site, which is only for horse riding.
Integrate Detroit's culture into this area. Protect and develop music, graffiti and sculpture art, let more people understand these cultures, hold various events r e g u l a r l y, a t t r a c t more people to come her e, and pro vid e opportunities.
Commercial Area
Analysis
A
The area is mainly centered on the market, surrounded by shops and shops, and there are also some abandoned buildings.
Bicycles, motorcycles, and cars run on the main road and often g e t co n g e st e d d u ri n g p e a k seasons.
A B There are shops on both sides of the road.
Sidewalk
The main road is changed to two one-way roads and one pedestrian passage, and the secondary road is changed to a pedestrian street.
A Area-Case Study and Plan
From the pedestrian street in Barcelona, there will be some small street vendors and artists performing on the sidewalk in the middle. On both sides of the sidewalk are single lanes, and the cars will follow the park.

Secetion A-A
As the main building in the area, the building is a multi-functional building. The ground floor can be used as a market during peak seasons to share the flow of people in the East Market. In the offseason, exhibitions and galleries can be held on the ground floor, and temporary indoor walls can be added or removed according to different needs. The top floor contains some small shops, souvenir shops and coffee shops. You can also enjoy the surrounding scenery on the top floor.

Regional Overall The area is built into a large cultural and artistic park. Visitors walk or cycle to various buildings, move around to view the scenery, and devote themselves to the environment of art and nature.
Nutural and Residential Areas
Natural Area-horse farm,housing,park
?
New way of transportation?
There are many green spaces in the area and relatively quiet, and cars will generate noise and pollution.
Riding and bicycles are the means of transportation.
The opening of the horse farm not only reduces the pollution to the natural environment, but also attracts more people, thereby bringing economic beneďŹ ts.
This area is very quiet, with only a few housing buildings and large green areas. Although the road planning is very regular, the road utilization rate is very low.
Divide this area into three parts, one part is the horse farm, one part is the living area, and the other part is nature. Remove most of the roads and add new modes of transportation for horse riding. Horses can travel freely in residential areas and natural areas, and ďŹ nally lead to the Heidelberg project.
