Architecture of Speed
I would propose that the motorway has the effect of shearing open the potential of city in its rectolinear/crystalline/radiated planned form. The frontier of the surrounding built context is repelled to a distance back from the motorway’s edge, in the process opening up a multitude of pocket/void space between the grid/bezier interface. In a sense then the ‘shape’ of the city where motorway is bordering is formed by the long reaching curves of the bezier.
