Emily Andersen's Freeway Drawings

Emily is an architect in Manhattan. These drawings are formal and flow analysis from the first part of her design project for architecture integrated into freeway construction. Before she studied architecture she studied studio art and fashion.
Either way, these drawings demonstrate the kinds of connection, craft, and geometricization of a form that we're asking you to construct. They are the geometries of bona fide ribbons of concrete, not fiat blobs of where you occupy the room. The way that the drawing is systematized through graphics of arcs and circles, tangents and radii.

    these are the bona fide boundaries of speed. speed requires rules and limits which determine smooth geometries. this way people don't crash.
