Architecture & Urbanism in Detroit
Wednesday, March 10
Ann Arbor District Library, Downtown Library
343 South Fifth Avenue, Ann Arbor
7pm – 8:30pm
Michael Hodges, the art writer at The Detroit News, has spent the last two years shooting Detroit in all its splendor and collapse for his architecture blog. Join us on Wednesday, March 10 in the Downtown Library Multi-Purpose Room as Michael offers his insight and expertise in a slide show and lecture entitled Love The One You’re With: Architecture & Urbanism In Detroit.
This event will focus on alternate ways of reading the city — hitting Detroit's aesthetic high points without skirting the abandonment that characterizes so much of the cityscape. Hodges will review Detroit treasures that upstarts like Seattle would kill for, including the three great art-deco skyscrapers (Guardian, Penobscot, & Fisher). But he also makes an argument for learning to see the interest — and even beauty — in areas most people would call "depressing."
