Ruining the Road The project encourages the abandonment of petrol and diesel cars within the city, whilst saving the National Parks from increased tourism and the negative consequences that come with it. The roads of our cities undergo a transformation to nurture new National Park typologies within the city centre. The architecture pulls apart the urban fabric, revealing historical layers of the city below, and elevates a therapeutic landscape above street level. The structures become a means to evoke curiosity in the hidden built heritage of London. By juxtaposing idyllic nature with the culture of congestion in the capital, the project provides a means of natural escapism away from the overburdened National Parks.
