Rules of the Road: Connecting Cities to Underutilized Freeway Infrastructure Zones Through Parametric Urbanism

Transportation infrastructure such as waterways, roads, railroads or the federal highways have always informed the design of cities. The National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956 forever changed transportation, economic flows, connectivity and the landscape of the US. The mechanical efficiency required for the success of the freeway is created through separation from everything that might slow it down but benefits of speed created by separation are constantly at odds with slower, finer-grained, human concerns of dense urban cores.
