Architect Michael Maltzan has a proposal to wrap the 134 Freeway as it crosses the Arroyo Seco with a tunnel-like form that produces power, captures stormwater and reduces noise and pollution.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Neat idea!

In the mid-20th century, it was a railroad; now it’s a public park. Built in the 1930s, 30 feet above the streets of Manhattan, the High Line was crucial for transporting cargo. But with the decline of rail transportation, it closed in 1980 and was abandoned. Almost three decades later, it opened again -- this time, as a shared space for greenery, art and leisure. Jeffrey Brown reports.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
I've posted about the High Line urban park in New York City before. But this is perhaps the best video I've seen on it. You get a really nice sense of how the public is seeing/using this park here.

This proposal for a new kind of suburbia is inspired by the tree, featuring self-sufficient "symbiotic" homes that generate their own power and are integrated with the land.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Provocative idea...that will never happen. You mean to tell me that we will have this sparsely occupied forest replace a modern suburb?
Designed by a true urbanite!
While this would be cool, it would also require something like halving our global population...which would be great.
