Project by Chi-Tung Wu @wuchitung_
Urban suture understands layered urbanism as a series of dialogues—between infrastructure and architecture, people and their surroundings, and the past and the future. This project seeks to mediate the spatial and social fractures caused by large-scale infrastructure embedded within the city. By introducing an elevated park, the proposal transforms the highway from a barrier into a connective public landscape, stitching together fragmented urban experiences. Simultaneously, the renovation of existing apartments repositions them as active participants within this layered system, rather than residual elements. A new housing intervention is nested into this framework, creating a contemporary living environment that engages both infrastructure and community. Together, these strategies form a cohesive urban suture, one that repairs discontinuities while revealing the complex relationships that define the city. Rather than erasing conflict, the project embraces it, framing urban life as an ongoing negotiation across scales, systems, and time.
