Landway does not attempt to solve problems. It rather regards the stagnant condition of the city as a latency to be intensified and accelerated. Landway is a field that promotes the convergence of private and public interests in a plateau, conceived as a set of rules to organize the infrastructure. Landway is a parkway prototype that establishes formal mechanisms of integration of infrastructural regulations and land property rights, in the desire to diversify private life and create new forms of public space.

 

Landway assumes that density does not necessarily decrease the standards of living. Rather, when it is taken to extremes, dense organizations acquire a life of their own, and switch altogether the conventional value system of living, simultaneously breeding new forms of living and new modes of organization. Landway flattens a mass of houses into a single, thick, dense material crust, taking profit of a triple opportunity: vehicular, pedestrian, and typological.
