| Abstract: |
Transportation systems offer opportunities to connect rural communities with economic possibility. Intentional infrastructure interventions connect citizens with resources and reduce travel time between remote and urban areas – creating sustainable value for entire economic regions. Remote infrastructure presents a tension between creating social value without destroying environmental value. Presenting two multi-bridge infrastructure projects in Norway and South Africa, Dissing+Weitling explores the opportunity for a design team to partner with local authorities to provide aesthetic interventions that align with environmental protection goals, increase connectivity for rural communities, and balance social value creation with the preservation of landscapes with high natural value. |
