Abstract:
|
This thesis applies a design approach to the issue of creativity, cross-disciplinary
collaboration, and sustainable development in the low-density, post-industrial city. Detroit -
by the nature of its automobile-centric design and decades’ long decline - presents a physical,
spatial, and socioeconomic environment that is inhospitable to the informal exchange of
knowledge across disciplines and of the social relations necessary for meaningful
collaboration. Moreover, historically the city largely fails to meet the goals of economic,
social, and environmental sustainability. Through an examination of the individuals and
organizations working at Ponyride, a shared workspace in Detroit, this study explores crossdisciplinary
collaboration and sustainable growth among creative entrepreneurs in the city,
seeking to identify the specific ways in which Ponyride - as a physical space and set of
organizational arrangements - facilitates collaboration across disciplines and sustainable
growth by tenants.
