MEET THE

COMMUNITY

PARTNERS FOCUS: HOPE Focus: HOPE was founded in 1968, as a non-profit organization whose aim is to overcome racism and poverty by providing education and training for underrepresented minorities and others. Nowadays, the organisation serves i.a. as a community development center for the surrounding neighborhood. There are 5.300 residents and 1.700 housing units in Hope Village. Their partnership with The Motown Movement is to facilitate close neighborhood involvement.

ECOWORKS

EDUCATION

RESEARCH

EcoWorks was established in 1981, as a non-profit organization focused on energy education, green building, and sustainable communities. Each year they train about 640 people participating in their workshops. EcoWorks has lead the EcoDistricts protocol to Detroit and is working with Focus:HOPE on a sustainable community. With 35 years of experience, they are the perfect partner for providing workshops in the training center.

TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF DELFT THE GREENING OF DETROIT The Greening of Detroit is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1989 to reforest the city. The Greening of Detroit wants to enhance the quality of life for Detroiters by repurposing the land to create beautiful and productive green spaces. They involve the community in their projects and hope to inspire people to imagine a new paradigm for Detroit. With their experience in urban greening they can help with the realization of eg. the urban farm.

This year the faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment of the TU Delft was ranked #3 Architecture school in the world by QS Top Universities. One of the various graduate programs, the Building Technology track, focuses on structural, façade and climate design, learning students how to contribute to smart buildings that are sustainable, comfortable and environmentally intelligent. The Motown Movement graduate course will be fitted in the BT track and have students continuously evolve The Motown Movement’s projects under supervision of Delft’s highly regarded professors.

DETROIT LAND BANK AUTHORITY The Detroit Land Bank is a public authority dedicated to returning Detroit’s vacant, abandoned, and foreclosed property to productive use. They currently manage over 28 000 vacant residential standing structures in Detroit’s inner city. Partnering with the DLBA enables The Motown Movement to have closer contact with city officials for this home and future projects.

NEW PARADIGM LOVING ACADEMY The New Paradigm Glazer Loving Academy acts as a portal to educational reform in high need areas. The school is a neighborhood beacon and provides a sense of security for the families served. They develop strong community partnerships and align extended programming with the concerns and issues facing families today.

LAWRENCE TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY The College of Architecture and Design at the Lawrence Tech recently opened the Detroit Center for Design + Technology to position existing programs to have a greater social and community impact, along with more opportunities to engage organizations and groups that are working to rebuild and rejuvenate the city. They actively promote the notion of advancing practice, design practice and ideas that enable us, as a culture, to make lives better. This mission doubtlessly makes LTU a suitable partner for continuous local research and development of the Motown Movement’s project.

The Pret-a-Loger project of the Technical University of Delft took part in the international Solar Decathlon Europe 2014 in Versailles. It finished first in Sustainability and Communication & Social Awareness, second in Energy Efficiency and Construction Management & Safety. Overall, the team won the 3rd prize and was the only one to present a solution for existing buildings. Their solution was a Home with a Skin: an extra layer put over the house, which improves both the spatial and the climate performance of the existing house, without touching the quality of a home. The Skin was inspired by the food greenhouses, typical of the area. It’s applicable to the post-war row house typology, which are very much present in The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Germany. The project was executed by 52 students of the TU Delft and led by three advising professors from the faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. Some of which are now advising The Motown Movement in their efforts too.

Thinking about what kind of impact such an innovation could have, it’s not an overstatement to say that scientific effort is not maximizing its outcome on society nowadays. Closing the gap between inventors and users, inventions and uses, could just make the difference for the global effort that is being put into fighting climate change and keeping our world from being used up. Lets bring ourselves together, so we can fight climate change.

price

Despite that higher energy efficiency standards are being imposed by Western governments, annually only 0.6-0.9 percent of the housing stock is being built or rebuilt. The focus should be on the remaining 99 percent of the existing housing stock. Herein lies the challenge of our time.

Why doesn’t everyone fight against climate change with the technologies already at hand? We stumbled upon this question when examining the Pret-a-Loger project of the Technological University of Delft in 2014 (see on the right). We are able to transform old brokendown houses into self-sufficient homes all over the world, yet we show a lack of effort to inspire, motivate and empower others to do the same.

New technologies that are brought forth and bettered everyday, are still far from being commonly used. The Pret-a-Loger project shows that a solution such as theirs can be too expensive, radical or incomprehensible for a regular family living in an outdated home. This way, technical innovation and brilliance is left almost untouched by the majority of people.

Average residential energy consumption has annually decreased with roughly 0.5 percent over the last 25 years. This is partly due to increasing energy prices and more efficient appliances. Still, it’s evident that useful technologies are not yet put to full use. Lately, more initiatives are showing the financial benefits of sustainable development and cooperation. However, recent economic, water and food crises proof self-sufficiency to be more than just a financial benefit. To make people understand there are better alternatives for their current utility suppliers, they need to be certain and aware about the ins and outs. Useful information about costs, savings, suppliers and assembly instructions will lower the threshold tremendously for people with no technical background. Freely sharing this information could mean a great deal for people that have never thought about the easy applicable adjustments they can profit from. Therefore, our goal is to upscale the fight against climate change by making sustainable housing accessible for everyone. We want to inspire and motivate other homeowners to take action for their own financial benefits, but moreover for the benefit of our future world and generations. Two birds with one stone, I would say.

Before we visited Detroit, we expected to see an exceptional phenomenon happening: a metropolitan city in full decay. Instead, we saw a city putting itself back together and recovering its lost glory. What a resilience. This inexhaustible dedication inspired us as young architecture students. When the financial crisis of 2008 forced the municipality of Detroit to file bankruptcy, it looked like the battle was worsening for the city that has been plagued by setbacks for decades. The effects of this catastrophic event are still very present in everyday life: broken-down buildings, empty neighborhoods and high criminality rates. Therefore, it’s not entirely inexplicable that outsiders think of Detroit as a ghost town. Nonetheless, the inhabitants today will argue very differently. Detroit has managed to do the unthinkable: turn the end of days into a laboratory of the future. The vast increase of people abandoning their homes has created heaps of open lots and left behind a great amount of recyclable materials. Fortunately, It didn’t take long before the remaining residents started to recognize the opportunities. In the past few years several great urban initiatives led by entrepreneurial citizens emerged, such as urban farms, art installations, communal sport fields, recycling projects and more. And so the search for selfreliance, fed by decades of mal governance, is achieving significant

progress. This powerful adaptiveness of Detroit people shows that the city is future proof. So now the world is watching the city intently: if Detroit manages to restructure the urban fabric successfully, this can be a model for the rest of the world’s (shrinking) cities. That’s why we see great potential in implementing simple but effective technologies that go along with the Motor City’s resilient, independent and free spirit. Detroit has not only shown us that they embrace bold bottom-up initiatives, but also that they have the urge, capacity and desire to realize change. That’s why the ideal city for our pilot project is Detroit: the do-ityourself city.

DETROIT HAS TURNED THE END OF DAYS INTO THE LABORATORY OF THE FUTURE

What is The Motown Movement

SOLUTION AND APPROACH WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE? Lots of resourceful technologies go unnoticed by the public and are not creating the social impact they can. This is an amendable defect wherein lies our purpose. We create a platform directly connecting researchers, educators and users. On this platform we develop, bundle and share a lowbudget and do-it-yourself method to transform broken-down houses into self-sufficient homes. Our ultimate aim is to inspire and activate other residents; turning an initiative into a movement. Together with students, experts, artists and residents we share and create knowledge on an international scale. This way we are catalyzing worldwide efforts to improve self-reliance and an equally affordable comfortable living environment for all inhabitants.

THE MENU

THE HOME

GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT

The different methods and techniques will serve as a menu for sustainable interventions. Various solutions will be displayed for the same item, added with useful information about costs, savings, suppliers and assembly instructions. This way people can choose themselves what solution they need, like or can afford. Afterwards, they can simply implement them in their own homes.

The home serves as a showcase and a hub for research, education and community. The ground floor will be our demonstration home with a training center. Most of The Menu will be exposed in its separate rooms. The main use will be to actively spread our knowledge by providing people with workshops and tours teaching visitors about the use of utilities, the ins and outs of sustainable housing transformation and how to cope with the finances. Furthermore, we accommodate space for people to manufacture applications from our Menu in our do-it-yourself workspace. So to foresee residents with all the needs needed to follow up our methods. The upper level of the two-familyhome will be resembling our advised complete make-over model. The model home will be given to a Detroit family that lost their home due to tax foreclosures. Not only does their presence revitalize the neighborhood, it also provides a great proof of concept for our sustainable method: that people can live comfortably in energy neutral homes in a cost-effective way. The model home will demonstrate the real life reduction of utility costs for a regular household. Finally, the basement is used to stimulate self-fulfillment for young and old. It will house a resource center with computers, WiFi and books, where people can learn, play and work. This again embodies our vision that we facilitate and enhance community activity by, with and for the people.

Power to the people! Our approach is a typical bottom-up initiative, a grassroots movement. Neighbors are involved in the design, building and programming process. They are the force behind the Motown Movement. The far reaching neighborhood involvement entirely fits in with Detroits values and standards. Too often have artist, developers or municipalities made well-meant but unfitting gestures to Detroit. We treat peoples’ customs and habits with respect and do not act like a know-itall. A famous quote that we are often told is as follows: ‘nothing about us, without us, is for us.’ To facilitate our planning process, we have put in place several pathways for continuous conversation with residents, to track whether our plans are still in line with the community needs and vision as they evolve. These pathways include Town Hall Meetings at Focus:HOPE and our Review Panel of 16 neighborhood residents, local school officials, interested community members and partner organizations. The panel serves as our advisors for integrating our project within the community structures.

Together with our partners in different universities, we set up courses wherein students keep evolving the menu. So it keeps up with its time and the ingenuity of it is not depended on a limited group of students. They continue to develop methods and techniques to turn old homes off-thegrid with little resources. The open-source menu will be a freely available online platform and thereby accessible for everyone.

The techniques of our methods are now tested and presented to the community in Detroit. We also want to share our gained knowledge on an online platform, serving as our main reference work. Our method will be presented as a menu with house improvements for every climate and budget. This way The Motown Movement can reach out to everyone on earth; rich or poor. It does not matter. The Menu is divided in three levels: zero, medium and high budget. Every level is based on three key elements: heating and cooling, electricity and water. For example at zero budget, we target very simple and free methods like minimizing the capacity of your toilets water reservoir by putting a brick in. This way you save 1 liter every time you flush, which results into a yearly amount of 5110 liters, saving $15 in the City of Detroit. While in the high budget stage, people will get advice about matters like solar panels, biogas generators and grey water systems. The Menu can be downloaded as a PDF or you can simply walk through our interactive 3D model of the Home.

Solar panel refers to a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity or heating. A photovoltaic (PV) module is a packaged, connect assembly of typically 6×10 solar cells. Solar Photovoltaic panels constitute the solar array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 365 watts. The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated output – an 8% efficient 230 watt module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt module.

TU Delft’s mission is to make a significant contribution towards a sustainable society for the twenty-first century by conducting groundbreaking scientific and technological research which is acknowledged as world-class, by training scientists and engineers with a genuine commitment to society and by helping to translate knowledge into technological innovations and activity with both economic and social value. Therefore, designing a graduate course that uses The Motown Movement’s platform to have students contribute to society was a logical move for our ambassadors within the TU Delft. The annual course is meant to evolve the Menu and give students the opportunity to bring their knowledge into practice.

EcoDistricts’ overall purpose is to drive a new era of district-scale urban development that achieves unsurpassed outcomes in equity, resilience and sustainability. And all this, from the neighborhood up. Currently, they are running project in dozens of cities across North America. The Motown Movement shares with and participates in EcoDistricts projects in Detroit. The efforts made by all individuals are united through the EcoDistricts network of like-minded organisations. And so, by working together increasing efficiency.

Every year, new project boards will be formed existing of seven full-time members. These new groups will take over the executive roles and start the planning for new homes in places all around the world. These are cities where the need for sustainable housing is high and the conditions for enabling change are present. This way, the project boundaries will be extended internationally, reaching more and more people, by which the social and environmental impact will be maximized and the movement will continue to grow!
