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.
据说底特律市是美国犯罪率最高的城市之一,美国拥有世界囚犯人口的5%。过去曾经是经济中心的人们放弃了底特律。底特律的经济正在崩溃。
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.
根据美国监狱管理局的资料,2010年联邦监狱的平均每年监禁费用为28284美元。随着囚犯被视为纳税人的经济负担,重新审视美国的监禁方法是合乎逻辑的。这就是生产理念发挥作用的地方。目的是让犯人在监狱中服刑,同时仍然是经济中的劳动力。
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.
关于区域和空间的分区,底特律市正在发生变化。随着许多领域被抛弃,考虑根据不稳定的经济需求灵活变化的架构是有益的。
