PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PROGRAM & SITE STUDIO DESCRIPTION Architecture Design Studio 5 is an integral architectural endeavor that synthesizes and builds upon the various design experiences of the previous years. Collective issues are integrated, including: programming, environmental concerns, structure, and building systems. Clarity of thought and sensitivity of design are explored in design proposal format through the vehicles of writing and graphic portrayal as a means of professional communication. The instructor serves as both coach and facilitator. Projects are reviewed and evaluated by a jury from the architectural profession. _ Mike Giovanni PROJECT DESCRIPTION Like many great cities created in the nineteenth century, each of Detroit districts were originally established by certain ethnic group supported schools, businesses, jobs, housing, social connections and church communities. The Churches became a symbol of prosperity and social grace embodied in each community or ethnic group. Today the inner city districts are reduced to these historically and architecturally prominent structures as the last vestiges of these forgotten communities. Our project site will thus be identified by some of the remaining churches, “Cass Park Baptist and Cass corridor Connection. The project and program is devised to rediscover the once proud and vibrant neighborhood connections severed by the Detroit highway system. _ Mike Giovanni PROJECT GOAL Our project goal is to RECONNECT reunite the city
THE URBAN FABRIC
to reestablish these forgotten and displaced communities in an effort to help
The program characteristics of the DETROIT CENTER FOR URBAN AND CULTURAL CONNECTION are selected to reinforce the idea of community connection and unity supported by a spatial urban connections. The program is devised to appeal to community groups, neighborhood groups, local universities and church communities to establish a general social and urban support system.

PROJECT SITE
Midtown
The site of the project is located in the “inner ring” of the Detroit central business district near the west edge of the Detroit theater district. The “inner ring” of the Detroit central business district is bounded by the lodge freeway to the west, the fisher freeway (I-75) to the north, the fisher freeway (I-375) to the east and Detroit River to the south. The site is located just north of the future new sport and entertainment arena that will house the Detroit Red wings hockey team. The is bisected by the fisher freeway (I-75) and Grand River boulevard and bounded by Henry Street to the north, Cass avenue to the west, Columbia street and plum street to the south and third street to the west.

The site is located in a growing and dynamic area of downtown Detroit. Recent downtown development over the last several year include the Fox theater, the Detroit Opera House renovation, the construction of commerica field, home the Detroit tigers, and ford field, home of the Detroit Lions, renovations for the renaissances center and the casino developments, MGM grand, Motor city and Greek town casino.

The urban history of Detroit is a long and interesting story, the city has suffered a decline in population and economic stability through out the post world war era. We have seen the invasion of the super highway system cutting through the heart of the city, reducing numerous viable neighborhoods. Today the evidence is quite clear as one travels around the city of Detroit. The decline of the population in many ways was encouraged by the suburban explosion and the imposing of the super highway system. _ Mike Giovanni
HISTORY OF DETROIT
Civil War era
dé Troit
Statue of French officer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac commemorating his 1701 landing along the Detroit River.
In 1701, the French officer Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac, along with fifty-one additional French-Canadians, founded a settlement called Fort Ponchartrain du Détroit, naming it after the comte de Pontchartrain, Minister of Marine under Louis XIV. France offered free land in order to attract families to Detroit, which grew to 800 people in 1765, the largest city between Montreal and New Orleans
pg| 10
Rise of industry and commerce
A thriving carriage trade set the stage for the work of Henry Ford, who in 1899 built his first automobile factory in Highland Park, an independent city that is now surrounded by Detroit. Ford’s manufacturing innovations were soon adopted by rival automobile manufacturers, including General Motors, Chrysler and American Motors. Each of them, like Ford, established its headquarters in the Detroit metropolitan area, solidifying Detroit’s status as the world’s car capital.
Michigan Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monumen
The Michigan Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument in Detroit’s Campus Martius Park commemorates the state’s role in the American Civil War. Then a Lieutenant, the future president Ulysses S. Grant was stationed in the city. His dwelling is still at the Michigan State Fairgrounds. Because of this local sentiment, many Detroiters volunteered to fight during the American Civil War, including the 24th Michigan Infantry Regiment
Immigrants in the 19th century Detroit has long been a city of immigrants, from the early French and English settlers in the 18th century, through the Irish who settled in the Corktown neighborhood in the 1840s, to the Greeks, who settled in the Greektown neighborhood in the early 20th century and the southern U.S. migrants who came to Detroit in the years before the Great Depression. Detroit’s industrial boom in the later 19th century created yet another stream of immigrants into Detroit. Significant contingents during this period included German and Polish immigrants who settled in Detroit in the 1860-1890s. A wave of Italian immigrants arrived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
Motown founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation in Detroit, Michigan, United States, on April 14, 1960. The name, a portmanteau of motor and town Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music, by achieving a crossover success. In the 1960s, Motown and its soul-based subsidiaries were the most successful proponents of what came to be known as The Motown Sound, a style of soul music with a distinct pop influence. From 1961 to 1971, Motown had 110 top 10 hits. Top artists on the Motown label during that period included Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Four Tops, and The Jackson 5, while Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and The Miracles released hits on the Tamla label.
HISTORY OF DETROIT
Hockytown The entry of the United States into World War II brought tremendous changes to the city. From 1942 to 1945, production of commercial automobiles in the city ceased entirely, as its factories were used instead to construct M5 tanks, jeeps, and B-24 bombers for the Allies. The Guardian Building was converted into a headquarters for wartime production. The city’s major contribution to the Allied war effort earned it the nickname “The Arsenal of Democracy.”
“Hockeytown” is one of several nicknames for the city of Detroit, Michigan, (i.e. Motor City and City of Champions) which arose in 1996 as the result of a marketing campaign by the city’s NHL franchise, the Detroit Red Wings Woodward Avenue
In 1909, Wayne County built the first mile of concrete highway in the world on Woodward Avenue between Six and Seven Mile roads. Until then, a surfaced road was gravel, and often a horse was employed to pull a car out of the muddy muck.

RE-ROUTING pg| 20
The re-routing of the streets is due to a portian of the freeway below was covered to reclaim some of the space the freeway has taken and divided the site into segments. The re-routing traregy insures easy flow if vehicular traffic while allowing for foot and bike travel to have a priority.

INSPIRATION
ARCHITECTURE DESIGN
The idea for the architecture design is inspired from the city grid and the old Woodward plan for rebuilding the city of Detroit after the fire of 1805. The original plan was a radial concept and only partially implanted. The radial paths of the grid were the guiding logic to develop the architecture language of the Detroit Center for Urban and Cultural Connection as well as the site development of the urban master plan. The turning slopes
The elevated experimental path is made of a series of individual slopes ramp-like connector structures that gradually become more exaggerated as the building rises. At the same time, each of the connector rotates relative to the slope below to align with the city’s grid beyond.
The Path wraps around the building and the building forms becomes responding to the formation of the path with slight gap between the the two structures that allows for structural connections
