Empty Pavilion Installation
The Empty Pavilion is a meditation on Detroit's evacuated urban context and an experiment in the ability of architecture to make visible a latent public in the city. The project aspires to create an architecture that is physically and semantically empty, while solicitous of public interaction and imaginative projection. The creators of the Empty Pavilion have no specific use or meaning in mind – hoping instead that the project will invite unplanned occupancies and creative associations. This project was funded by a Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Research Though Making grant.
Work by: Assistant Professor McLain Clutter, Oberdick Fellow Kyle Reynolds, and graduate students Ariel Poliner, Mike Sanderson and Nate Van Wylen
