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. El boom económico chino detonó un masivo incremento en la infraestructura vehicular de Beijing. La tesis de este proyecto explora las posibilidades de coexistencia y adaptación de la ciudad con estas grandes infraestructuras. Rascacielo Horizontal es el nombre del plan maestro que envuelve a la autopista del segundo anillo en donde se buscan oportunidades para generar un borde activo. Un edificio horizontal es una metáfora visual en donde el progreso económico se vuelca al espacio público. Es una edificación de gran envergadura que responde a la necesidad de densificación de Beijing, pero que a su vez conserva la tradicional escala humana del centro histórico. El tramo a desarrollar del plan maestro es un núcleo en donde confluyen distintos medios de transportes públicos. La intermodal Social Yonhegong funciona como una prótesis para la autopista, su principal función es colaborar a ordenar los flujos e incorporar espacios comunitarios, potenciando el uso de transportes públicos y proveyendo equipamiento, integrando la autopista a la ciudad.
