dc.description.abstractIH-45 is an inconceivably large ribbon of infrastructure that acts as a border between political and geographic communities. IH-45’s margin shelters socio-politically marginal architectural programming. If we take space to be a material reiteration of power, then the contested and marginal territory of the NHHIP is a critical site for architectural consideration and engagement. Through non-hegemonic site analysis and the imagining of counter-futures at four sites along the NHHIP’s extent, this thesis re-conceives of the freeway’s marginal territory as site for liberatory praxis and theorizes modalities of activist engagement with megastructures and megaprojects.
