American infrastructural networks were created to connect cities, states, and humans to one another. While this succeeded in connecting our society together, it also carved through many nonhuman landscapes and destroyed numerous ecologies across the US. Nonhuman spaces were invaded by concrete and steal, forcing human aesthetics into these landscapes. Today, many highway networks lie unused or unfinished. Technological development is trending toward a future where these networks are no longer a necessary part of society.
Existing Infrastructural Objects
Infrastructural Hybrids
This project seeks to rewild the infrastructure of the US in order to bring together the human and nonhuman aesthetics of these spaces and make landscapes where the two cohabit instead of compete. Using AI style transfer, the aesthetics of the landscape surrounding three different infrastructural objects are projected back onto the forms, resulting in formal and material variations that are neither purely human nor purely nonhuman.
