-HONOURABLE MENTION of Street of Tomorrow Competition
“ TRANSCEND. INTEGRATE. GROW. ”
The Lofty Seedways are a requiem to the Streets of Yesterday and Today; a requiem to streets held in shackles by automobiles and Car-centric Urban Forms. They mark our “‘Next Move” to a Life-centric future: to enable Living and Seed, Cultivate and Enhance Life!
The Seedways were designed to be a confluence of once-segregated Urban Realities. They are held aloft to conserve the sensitive ecosystems on the ground and Transcend the disparity between Man and Nature. They become scions of Multimodal Transit; with integrated Monorails, Travellators and Biking Lanes along its length. The Seedways enhance the Blue-Green networks that they traverse and weave into the sustainable systems of the city. Massive moisture-capturing sails harvest copious amounts of water feeding into the Water Cycle, while solar-roof panels and kinetic floors produce Clean Energy. The monorail system provides logistics for the Agro-Productive units along its length, such as Vertical Farms and Algal Farms. The Seedways themselves amalgamate into the context, morphing to accommodate various public activities in the immediate vicinity. Thus they ultimately become the main continuous Public Realm of the city; sowing the seeds of holistic Urban Life: Eco-Sensitive, Productive and Celebratory!
