Futroit is the city that came after Detroit. It is also the city that comes after any large, metropolitan center begins to contract, collapse and fail. Futroit shows the way of a future city in which humanity must grapple with new urban environmental architectures based upon the bones of the old.
Although the humans of Futroit have dramatically rearranged their living conditions, Futroit retains the skeletal forms of its previous infrastructure; roads, malls, sidewalks, phone booths, and water pipes. The Futroit Project consists of 3 different imaginings of robotics deployed to transform and repurpose existing infrastructure for future needs.
Futroit illustrates the future in order to illuminate the present.
