Medusa Cement

This past Saturday the cement silos on the waterfront were demolished for future development of the Riverwalk, some say they were ugly, but this was one of my favorite signs -Medusa Cement- in all of Detroit. These structures were not abandoned, they were in use up to a few months ago, but redevelopment plans outsted this "eyesore" to elsewhere.

Of course Denmark is a very different place and economy, but some very well-designed apartments were made from converted silos - both making way for some amazing new architecture and preserving a piece of the industrial past.
