Mapping the motorway


Considering the motorway as a divisive element, these maps show development on either side of each of the bridges linking the CBD to Auckland (in red - typology and topography derived from view cones) as well as the pervasive or intrusive nature of the motorway corridor on its immediately surrounding field (black dashed lines show the intended boundaries of the motorway's nature or condition, black hatching shows the perceived boundary from my site surveying).

By better understanding the dichotomy between "inside" and "outside" the motorway, as well as the relationship/conflict between the expansiveness nature of the city and the pervasive nature of the motorway, I am hoping to develop a design project that ameliorates the conflict of natures and creates a dialogue between the typologies of "inside" and "outside".
