| Resumo: | The Economic boom called for an explosion of car infrastructure in Beijing. This thesis explores the possibility to live and cohabit with large systems of vehicular infrastructures and wonders; what would we do if we had that space?
Highway-Scraper is the masterplan name that wraps up the second ring road in Beijing. It seeks opportunities for activating the edges of the highway, enabling not only permeability but also permanence and active use of a public space, challenging users to new kind of spaces and trying to ultimately re-connect the urban fabric previously interrupted.
A Highway-Scraper is a visual metaphor to a fallen high-rise building tumbled down to be reached by everybody like a horizontal skyscraper. It works as a massive construction that responds to the need of densification of Beijing but with a human scale, mixing the development and the local feeling of the site. It works as an artifact that host different kinds of units that make people orbit around the highway without a necessary realisation of its presence, aiming to obtain a more seamless perception of the city trough an unconventional ecosystem of sensorial and physical experiences. |
