Description: Excerpts from "Decay and Resurrection: An Engineer on the Ecosystem of Abandoned Buildings" by Paul Dannels Image 25, Winter 2013. “The aesthetic longing to gaze is too close to the less wholesome impulse to gawk…” This article contains an abridged portion of the article, “Decay and Resurrection” by Paul Dannels published in Image, Winter 2013. Specifically highlighted in this document is the potential that lies in the seemingly abandoned buildings. It addresses architectural challenges associated with rebuilding Detroit and rejecting the concept of “Ruin Porn” to avoid completely losing the buildings and the city’s history to the deleterious effects of time.

Description: Since declaring bankruptcy, the city of Detroit has noticed and influx of visitors taking part in various tours of an estimated 78,000 abandoned buildings. However for the residents of Detroit, the blight is just part of the landscape. An estimated fifth of the cars driving through some of the most affluent neighborhoods are now comprised of urban explorers who are both gawking at the ruins and learning about the city’s history. Some city officials call the blight a cancer on the city and are taking measures to demolish or repurpose the dilapidated structures while others are capitalizing on the “ruin porn” phenomenon.
