INFRATECTURE
Infrastructure by Design
by Marc Verheijen
pages 296, 2015 | ISBN 978-94-6208-2
A city’s infrastructure forms a ‘spaghetti’ of streets, tunnels, routes and lines. But infrastructure can be so much more than a functional necessity. Infratecture stands for really designing integrally and realizing infrastructure that aims for a functional solution for traffic flows while simultaneously adding social, cultural, ecological and economic value.
Infratecture shows how the right mentality, sincere collaboration and an intelligent design can result in infrastructure that can be a meaningful part of our daily living environment. With 15 perspectives and 30 international best practices, this book illustrates this in an inspiring way.
This is a practice-based book about designing and realizing streets, crossings, squares, bridges and viaducts, but also about designing biotopes, noise barriers, junctions and even speed.
