Station to Station

Abstract

The study will be based around the Appalachian Interstate System and its relationship to people, primarily through the lens of trucks and truck parking. By understanding the site at a regional scale, a local scale, and a site scale, a simple architecture can be developed to impact Appalachia and the conditions studied. This information is used to develop a simple and versatile modular system that can be easily placed across Appalachia as an occupiable human infrastructure for these large vehicles. It connects a hollowed-out economic necessity with community and human need.
