EXHIBIT: CIVIC FRICHE

The Civic Friche exhibit is an inhabitable diagram of research conducted by students at Taubman College during a semester-long program in France. The work looks at an emergent urban typology – one we have termed Civic Friche – and explores France’s compelling new strategies for reclamation, appropriation and reuse. The exhibit explores seven examples of civic friche projects in depth by analyzing the social, cultural, political and economic contexts connected to their design and realization.
