Allan Hill, Detroit, Michigan
Allan is the caretaker of one of the few remaining structures that still stand at the old Packard Plant. Years of neglect have resulted in massive decay in this Albert Kahn designed factory. But, it has its own kind of beauty and for Allan is the place he calls home.
The short doc is part of filmmakers Ben Wu and David Usui’s “This Must Be the Place,” a series of shorts exploring the idea of what constitutes a “home.” (Core77)

A Weathervane Wall Turns Wind Patterns Into Data Art
Windswept is an art installation at San Francisco’s Randall Museum that celebrates the intricacies of wind interacting with architecture. To create the effect, designer Charles Sowers deployed 612 freely-rotating anodized aluminum arrows on a 20’x35’ grid, each serving as a “discrete data point” of extremely local airflow to form “a kind of large sensor array.” (Fast Company)
