For reasons of convenience, various isolated functions occupy land along the highway with no real relation to one another. The highway itself divides the area, hindering the chance encounters that foster community.
Our design incorporates entities found along the highway in a folding system which constructs a public space, enriching the surrounding community. Programs of various size and nature are integrated in a continuous geometry of folds along with new programs introduced to serve location-specific needs.
The folding system frames a series of plazas and offers building roofs as an accessible part of the landscape, creating public space in charged conjunction with the highway.
This system can be implemented as a tool to foster community and sense of place in developing highway areas.
