The Dequindre Civic Academy (DCA) is more than a school.
Commissioned for "The Architectural ImagInation," U.S. Pavilion in the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale, Marshall Brown imagines it as the physical manifestation of America’s motto, E pluribus unum – out of many, one. Bridging over Detroit’s Dequindre Cut, the three million square foot institution is a coordinate unit - a city within the city - dedicated to the education, wellness, and future of Detroit’s children.
