High-speed car ramp proposal by Tiago Barros + Jorge Pereira: An alternative and LOL solution to the contested space between cars and cyclists / pedestrians. (via designboom)
‘Why change the route of pedestrians and cyclists?’. Their proposal was a high-speed car ramp which enables pedestrians and cyclists to freely cross under the segunda circular highway in Lisbon. Instead, the path for cars is altered by a ramp which acts as a bridge for vehicles. Drivers are expected to accelerate on a ramp, burning more gas. Barros and pereira’s design is meant to provide a long lasting event which will occur at every moment in which a car goes by. The ramp would provide entertainment, along with a new tourist attraction, acting as a means of redeveloping the area.
