helixes

Prof. Neil Denari | Cornell University | Summer 2010  [ in collaboration with Eric Su Jiao]

The approach to create infrastructure in service of itself taken on this project is through the form of two intertwined helices.

The infrastructure is intended to be easily accessible for all users. In essence two linear pathways are taken and folded to create three-dimensional space.

The form of the double-helix infrastructure juxtaposes the linear nature of the Highline, while optimizing circulatory flow through the site. The program embedded within the pathways is cafe, restaurant, flea market and night club.
