URBAN OVERLAP

2012, Unbuilt

This speculative urban intervention exaggerates the mundane operations of suburban planning in order to blend adjacent use zones rather than establish hard edges between them. Layers of pedestrian paths, vehicular through-streets, open green spaces, and residential units are superimposed over a site containing a typical suburban hard edge: a six-lane highway. Rather than segregating these elements, they are spread across the area creating collisions between commerce, residences, and public space.
