With the heavy, touchy-feeling issue that my site is dealing with, each of the five houses will explored and express the different issues of the Detroit Incinerator. Not only environmental issue that the Incinerator caused but as well as social and political issue.
House that doesn’t breathe: This house will deal with the problem of air pollution that caused by the Detroit Incinerator. From the literal point of view the first reaction from the site is that, the only way that anyone can live there is that ‘people should just not breathe’. The House that doesn’t breathe will act as a filter between inside and outside.
House that lies to its occupant: The idea started with the criticism on the Detroit Government.
House that doesn’t make sense: It’s a reaction on my take of the situation with the Incinerator.
House that goes in a vicious cycle: The whole process of the enclosed loop of paying more to get trash burned in the incinerator, and back to causing health and environmental problem.
The question is that what can I do with my design in order to have a quiet protest towards the situation? So… I am thinking that the project has to combine everything together, criticizing, mocking, however has to be poetic and powerful at the same time marketable? I’m focusing on one house right now,thinking to myself - how can I do five designs?
I guess the first step is the hardest. I’m still searching different way to generate my design. Any suggestions - Help would be wonderful!!
The above is something I did freshman year, “combination of trash and metal”. In spite the ‘trash’ element, surprisingly, it is also a quiet protest in its own rights, well, my inner angst too I suppose.
