The proposal’s aim is to locate underutilized sites in order to deviate and redirect the congestion from the street level onto a new plane that celebrates the population of space. By curating social interactions through playing & watching soccer/football, this project implements a modular system of artificial football (soccer) compounds that can be deployed onto underutilized areas such as rooftops, parking lots, and even inside skyscrapers. This intervention will utilize disposed car metal as the material bank, tieing into the concept of reducing congestion through another lens. For every 10,000 end-of-use cars are recycled, 4000 tons of steel is reclaimed. This upcycling process creates a kit of parts that can be scaled and adjusted depending on the need of the site.
The driving force behind each drawing is a visualization of movement, whether it’s through pedestrians, transportation, or ball movement. My architecture is developed by capitalizing on the structural nature of steel, spanning vertical elements to connect previously unconnected planes. This allows the spaces to be curated for each use case whether it’s through rooftop bridges in this example, within office spaces, or even floating platforms in another proposal.
