Detroit, Michigan
BORDER CROSSING
Spring 2014 CAP 302 ACSA Competition
16
The competition given to us was to design a border crossing station between Detroit and Canada. The neighborhood we visited in Detroit was not pretty by any means, and was nearly abandoned. But it was one of the better neighbor hoods in Detroit. So I proposed raising the highway off the ground, and allowing for locals to have shops underneath using shipping containers as shops, such as what I had seen in other parts of the city. Instead of demolishing what little was left of a decent neighborhood, I would rather help it to flourish in the future.
