Death By Freeway







From: http://www.architizer.com/en_us/projects/view/death-by-freeway/6066/ 

This project seeks to reinvest the formally charged space of the highway with a program of highly charged spiritual space. A network of cables is tensioned within the freeway overpasses, suspending a field of inverted trees whose canopies become an actively growing floor plane. Ashes are laid into the ground atop the trees' roots which are trained to grow about a steel trellis whose exposed members provide both space and shelter for the act of remembrance.
