THE AMAZING BRIDGE CITY

Deep within the Calabrian countryside in Italy stretches a ruined, abandoned highway – the result of a multi-million dollar development project which was never finished. One of the defining features of this highway is a series of beautiful viaducts – all of which seem destined to waste away into ruin, forgotten by the Italian people.

Unless, that is, the concept envisioned by Oxo Architecture’s Manal Rachdi comes to fruition. Rachdi sees the abandoned bridges being turned into eye-popping vertical cities; incorporating a design which he refers to as an “inverted high-rise.” The concept is amazing, as are these eye-opening renderings.
