Annual Report
DIRECTORS’ LETTER
Over the last year at the Detroit Collaborative Design Center (DCDC)
at the University of Detroit Mercy, we have been busy working alongside
our community partners to redefine community-engaged design within
the constraints of COVID-19 and reaffirm the focus on social justice and
racial equity in our practice. The immense loss and challenges of 2020
reinforced the critical importance of working in partnership toward a just
and equitable built environment that centers community resilience, which
is at the core of DCDC’s work.
Together with our partners, we developed new analog and digital
engagement strategies to safely ensure ongoing engagement in
neighborhood-based design and planning processes. We also had the
opportunity to share these lessons and learn from our peers navigating this
unforeseen challenge both locally and nationally. We believe that this work
will deepen our engagement approach into the future. We also believe
that meaningful community-engaged design contributes to more equitable
communities, ensuring that residents and other stakeholders have ownership
in the decision-making that impacts their neighborhood spaces. In 2021
we are looking forward to projects with new and longtime partners that
continues to work toward spatial justice. COVID permitting, we are eager
to launch new programs that support a more diverse design field.
As we do every semester, DCDC also had the privilege of welcoming
Detroit Mercy School of Architecture student designers into our office
community in 2020. We are so thankful for their passion and commitment
to the work of community-engaged design. We are similarly thankful to
our ever-amazing community partners, with whom we have navigated this
year, and our funding partners that make this collective work possible.
