Expanding into Placesetting Facades (DIFFA Detroit 2011)

More moment-image based endeavors- this time for Michigan AIDS coalition’s Dining by design event in Detroit. Details and superlatives are iterated here.

Conceptualized and fabricated in Conjunction with colleagues/ humans Mark Ehgotz, Scott Poloney, Ken Zawislak, Eileen Devine, we envisioned this installation as simulacrum of ‘Glamping’:

"Satisfying your craving for the outdoors and your penchant for a good meal and a glass of wine. Glamping Detroit celebrates this concept within the urban fabric of the city and showcases the richness of Detroit - Past, Present, and Future."

This piece is fabricated from donated/ reclaimed materials and services, and exemplifies the possible effectiveness of spot design-build processes within a niche of the practice largely devoid of that architectural modality
