Dot as Architecture

Title: Dot as Architecture
Description: This thesis project investigates the role of a Dot, first by defining the Dot within Architecture and second by situating the Dot within the contemporary city as a new proposal of nonfigurative architecture. Introducing the Dot in the contemporary city disrupts the urban scenography as the current image of the urban landscape no longer reflects the entire present condition of work. The Dot becomes an active instrument in addressing contemporary workplace needs by questioning the role and relation of those who represent new forms of work and workers to the city. The Dot doesn’t dictate how one works. The Dot is a place that allows those who don’t have a place to work within the city a place to go. The Dot represents a form of work based on individualism, startups, and the public as agents; the Dot presents a new form and image of work within Detroit.
