I found this architectural project by photographer Gregory Holm and architect Matthew Radune, mentioned on the Creative Review blog a few months ago. As much about raising money and bringing to light an area where change is needed, as it was about creating an amazing installation – the Ice House Detroit. This project saw one of the city’s 20,000+ abandoned houses covered completely in ice. Once the project is over the house will be disassembled rather than demolished so parts can be reused and recycled.
I've enjoyed looking at the blog of this project over the past few months as it has shown the progress of how the house was covered in ice through installation processes, as well as fundraising for the project. It also brings to light the problems that detroit has with the immense number of abandoned house in the city, many of which are demolished meaning that the materials can't be reused.
