Interwoven Purposes
There has been considerable hype about infrastructures that serve several differing goals simultaneously. For instance, roadway surfaces that also absorb energy lost in the resistance between rubber and asphalt; or train stations that capture more broadly, connecting energy, transportation, and data. What are some of the recent concepts for such devices and forms? Which “interwoven infrastructure” will enable a non-compact durable suburbia? What formal consequences emerge from these new intelligent infrastructure?
