The inspiration of this project was a piece of knitted fabric, and how different technologies and materials could be inserted to manipulate the fabric. This idea was translated to an urban landmark- the American highway. A new structure came to life when inhabited- a flicker of life into something barbarically inhuman. The project was about inhabiting edges to create a subversive architecture that was not just invasive, but traitorous to an existing conception of life underneath a highway offering an alternative approach to thinking about cities and how they function. This space is not residual, but is in fact a place to provoke a strange urbanism and to see the city differently.
