PROVING GROUND
Project Title: Proving Ground (2011)
Location: Dearborn, MI
Advisor: Charles Waldheim
This project was completed as a design thesis for an M.Arch. degree at the Harvard GSD. Conceptualized as a broad reorganization of the vast landholdings of the Ford Motor Co., the project took the model of the proving ground, or test landscape, as a way of exploring how large-scale ecological restoration experiments could coexist with an ecologically-conscious research and development complex poised to design mobility of the future.
