The Carbon and the Territory

Originally a question was posed: How do we address the urgent needs of an established city like Zagreb. This project aims to combat the rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by proposing a new paradigm - repurposing existing infrastructure to create a global carbon capture system. To avoid limiting the project to the boundaries of Zagreb, the focus was shifted to the E-59 highway, which connects the city with Vienna. This work focuses on the landscapes along this 200 Km long architecture, which serve as an operational base for the urban concentrations it connects.
The project was developed at ETSAM Madrid.
