I just read about the coolest project. Pun intended. Heh. The piece is a collaboration between New York based architect Matthew Radune and photographer Gregory Holm. They intend to transform a foreclosed home in Detroit this winter into an "ice house" by gradually spraying it with layers of water. In the spring, what is left will be salvaged or demolished and the lot will be donated to become a community garden. The intention is to draw attention to foreclosures in what was, decades ago, a thriving region. I like the project first off because it sounds like it will be visually really awesome looking, but also knowing that the lot will go from a place of icy desolation into a flourishing place of new growth seems like such a lovely use of space and symbolism. They have a swanky blog like us and also a place to donate if you like the project.
