This book provides a compelling and insightful portrait of ten
female architects, artists, and designers who explored unique
approaches to teaching, practice, and research in the
postindustrial city of Detroit. These women explored the phenomenon
of a new "ecological urbanism" through their own work in art,
architecture, design, planning, landscape architecture, and
installation as well as the work of their students. Teaching and
Designing in Detroit provides an eighteen-year snapshot of this
work, how it affected the women's practice, how they influenced
student relationships to design and community development, and how
their visions are now being carried out in Detroit. This book is
organized into sections that group stories according to their focus
on practice, pedagogy, and community engagement. Included in the
book is a foreword by Leslie Kanes Weisman, the only female
architecture professor at the University of Detroit Mercy in the
1970s, and an afterword by Sharon Egretta Sutton reflecting on how
working and practicing in Detroit foreshadowed the future vision
now being carried out in the rebounding city of Detroit. An
intriguing read for students and professionals, this book will
illustrate how these lessons learned can be applied by universities
and communities in other postindustrial cities.
