Detroit hat unbestreitbar einen Ruf als besondere Stadt, sei es nun wegen der Musik die von dort kommt, bis hin zu ' werden zu Parkhäusern umfunktioniert', etc. Nun gitbt es ein Projekt was auf leerstehende Häuser aufmerksam macht: Ice House Detroit
"During my time here I have explored the surrounding neighborhood extensively and I would estimate that nearly 1 in every 4 homes is either in a state of disrepair or completely abandoned. And although many have chosen to view these conditions with apathy, my point of view is one of optimism for the future driven by a sense of nostalgia for this neighborhood's past beauty. Amidst the soaring oaks that line these spacious blocks remains a modern and organic grid filled with possibilities that perhaps the fresh eyes of a new generation will bring to fruition. The Ice House project seeks to demonstrate that in much the same way -- as building materials are reclaimed from the many abandoned houses in Detroit, so to can the affected neighborhoods themselves be repurposed through the creativity, spirit, and sense of community clearly demonstrated by the residents themselves."
