Are deck parks over highways effective in healing the urban grid, increasing public green space, reducing noine and encouraging surrounding development? Is the section of Interstate 40 between Church Street and 12th Avenue South a suitable location? This blog will document my study to asnwer these questions.

Sketches
I attended a design sketching workshop last weekend. The leader of the workshop went over some techniques for the first hour, and then asked us to sketch whatever came to mind. Of course, I sketched a deck park. I didn’t have a scale or specific dimensions, so proportions are not accurate, but it shows the general idea. I also came up with an interesting idea that I might use in the design of the park. What if I could use the vibration, sound, and movement below to create a reaction above the park? The sailboat looking object I sketched could be a way of channeling the vibration below into through the large metal shape. This vibration could cause ripples in the surrounding water on calm days.
