Architecture Building Communities: Detroit K-8 Outreach Program
A joint early-education outreach program of the Detroit Chapter of American Institute of Architects, Cranbrook Academy of Art, and the Center for Success.
Over a 10-week period, Educators from Crankbrook Academy and volunteer mentors from AIA Detroit met with students in the Center for Success after-school program on Detroit’s east side. Two groups of students met with their instructors and mentors each week to learn about a real City of Detroit Planning & Development Department initiative, just blocks away from the Center. After a group site visit to the Islandview neighborhood, mentors worked with students to illuminate the planning processes behind adaptive reuse, new construction, and urban redevelopment, and crafted their own visions for how they’d like to see their city evolve.
