56 CENTER ARCHITECT THE AIA MAGAZINE JULY <strong>2014</strong> WWW.ARCHITECTMAGAZINE.COM NEXT PROGRESSIVES WATERSHED DESIGN MADE STUDIO IS APPLYING ITS DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH TO DETROIT, REVEALING WAYS THAT THE REGION’S WATER SYSTEMS CAN INFLUENCE URBAN PLANNING. María Arquero de Alarcón (left) and Jen Maigret near the site of their speculative project that proposes to connect Detroit’s Eastern Market to the Dequindre Cut, an abandoned railway that’s being turned into a public greenway. Text by Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson Portrait by Brian Kelly DETROIT, AMERICA’S POSTER CHILD for the post-industrial shrinking city, may suffer from a paucity of residents and resources, but it’s a boomtown of urban theory. There is no shortage of clever schemes aimed at repopulating vacant houses and vacant land. Jen Maigret, AIA, and María Arquero de Alarcón, co-founders of Ann Arbor, Mich.–based MAde Studio, have a slightly different perspective: What if you look at Detroit not in isolation, but as a regional system defined by its watershed? How would that change planning? “We are interested in different scales,” Arquero says. “And we are not interested in only focusing on the metropolitan area.” Maigret, 41, a trained biologist, and Arquero, 41, who’s licensed in Spain, began a detailed analysis of the region’s water systems in 2011 through a grant from the Graham Sustainability Institute at the University of Michigan. Their award-winning project, Liquid Planning Detroit, considered how watershed data might inform the future planning of the city, looking at ground cover, stormwater, and imperviousness, among other things. Forget existing grids and boundaries; the watershed should serve as a lens through which future planning decisions can be made. “This was an amazing opportunity to work on our analytic techniques,” Maigret says. “But the thing we’re always the most motivated by is how that data plays out in the built environment, in material, and in habitable, experiential space.” The Next Progressives series of emerging-firm profiles is proudly supported by VT Industries.
