DDF-01: An (pre)Emotive Masterplan For the 2012 Detroit Design festival
As an investigation into the intersection of allied creative fields via
exhibition of process, members of Corktown Studios will develop, through
research and community/ artist input, an artistically expressive yet
functionally implicative masterplan model of the North Corktown
Community. Production of the edifice will occur at Corktown Studios over
a 19 hour period during the festival (This being a reference to the
‘All-nighter’ project delivery workflow ubiquitous in academic art and
design studios). During this production window we invite the design
community, as well as spectators, to visit, observe, and contribute to
the research and production of the model. We will utilize social media
to provide updates and insights into the process, as well as to request
and obtain materials and recommendations. We intend to deliver the final
product, along with documentation of process (photos, sketches, video)
to the final DDF gala event at City Airport for exhibition.
