Filling the Void: Architecture, Landscape and Infrastructure Intertwined

Hypothesis-

This thesis aims to reclaim voids that were formed in the city due to the failure of twentieth century revitalization and infrastructure, and create an architecture that not only has function and meaning, but that reduces urban sprawl and creates connections between divided districts.

Precis-

Twentieth Century infrastructure and rehabilitation has failed in its intention to create a more efficient city. These railways and highways have created voids in the urban fabric, disconnecting neighborhoods, tearing down historic buildings and creating underused and neglected spaces. By reclaiming these voids and designing architecture for these spaces, urban sprawl is reduced and connections are re-established.
