Detroit Students Complex
“In this course our proposal is to continue exploring possible future transformations in industrial fabrics. However, we are going to abstract the conditions of the industrial contexts in order to try that the investigation has a greater degree of generality. It means that the plot on which we project will not respond to an existing environment or a specific place, but will be open to diverse applications. During the development of the course we will give some place conditions (data of location, society, climate...) that will be applied in different situations, to see how it behaves in Extreme Situations.”

The Detroit Students Complex project answers a series of requirements to work with industrial structures, to create new systems that may not relate to their initial use. To do this, we imagine a pixel unit of _100x100_ meters, where using _supports and _infills we will respond to this way of projection. The objective of working with a square space of known dimensions is to be able to get this one to be replicated "i n f i n i t e l y" in all directions maintaining its systematic character.
