Why
change the route of pedestrians and cyclists?
We
propose a High-Speed Car Ramp that enables pedestrians and cyclists to cross
freely the Segunda Circular Highway. North and South become connected again.
The
cars path is altered by a ramp that acts as a bridge for vehicles. Drivers are
expected to accelerate – burning more gas - which is provided by Galp Energia.
The
ramp will provide a long lasting event. An event that will take place every
second a car goes by. This long lasting show will bring people from all over
the World. A new tourist attraction takes place. The arrival of this new
catalyst will foster the redevelopment of the whole region.
Brief: International
