The city of Detroit has one of the highest crime rates in the U.S, having said that, the U.S.A has 5% of the world’s prisoner population. With people abandoning Detroit after once being an economic hub in the past. The economy of Detroit is crumbling.
據說底特律市是美國犯罪率最高的城市之一，美國擁有世界囚犯人口的5％。過去曾經是經濟中心的人們放棄了底特律。底特律的經濟正在崩潰。
According to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, the average annual cost of incarceration in Federal prisons in 2010 was $28,284 per inmate. With inmates being seen as an economic burden to taxpayers, it is logical to rethink incarceration methods in the U.S.A. This is where the idea of production comes into play. The aim is to allow the inmates to serve their jail time while still being a labour force in the economy.
根據美國監獄管理局的資料，2010年聯邦監獄的平均每年監禁費用為28284美元。隨著囚犯被視為納稅人的經濟負擔，重新審視美國的監禁方法是合乎邏輯的。這就是生產理念發揮作用的地方。目的是讓犯人在監獄中服刑，同時仍然是經濟中的勞動力。
The city of Detroit is going under change, regarding zoning of areas and spaces. With many areas being abandoned, it is useful to think about architecture that is flexible according to volatile economic needs.
關于區域和空間的分區，底特律市正在發生變化。隨著許多領域被拋棄，考慮根據不穩定的經濟需求靈活變化的架構是有益的。
