Architecture of Urban Infrastructural Residue

Urbanization is the process of limitless expansion of that which is urban, the built essentials that constitutes a civilization, beyond the limits of what can be recognized as the city. Infrastructure is the method by which urbanization is possible. Certain infrastructure has created residual spaces where urbanization does not occur. There is an opportunity for architecture to employ elements of the specific city as well as elements of the local urbanized area as a means to separate from and confront the infrastructural and urban conditions surrounding these residual sites.
