Talk Title: d.Tree Studio: Three Trees, Two Institutions and Twelve Makers
Talk Abstract:
Detroit Trees have much to teach us about respecting the wisdom of people, place and history. The shared focus and language around trees and urban lumber is what makes the d.Tree Studio unique. We can use the power of creative inquiry, craft, sustainability, community vision and storytelling to change people’s hearts and minds. By focusing on our natural resources and The City of Detroit’s Sustainable Action Agenda, there are no hidden agendas as we can collectively agree to foreground environmental sustainable systems. The process of social innovation enhances society and capacity to act. By documenting and understanding the cultural and environmental life cycle of Detroit trees; we can create new roles, relationships, while developing assets and capabilities. Our service design maps allowed for true collaborations with our partners to understand our thinking, intentions and motivations to collectively build a deep understanding of an African American Museum and art and design school workflows.
