Jerald Sparkman • Synthesis

Roads and overpasses are restructured to open the urban environment to the Charles and the sky. This is partly accomplished with a system of tunnels, with entrances placed at varying distances from the shoreline, that take vehicular traffic underwater, thereby, heightening the sense of movement from land to water.

The 'spaghetti' of the overpasses is reconfigured into a rich weaving of land and water. Drivers swing out over the water and then dip down 'into' the water. After a few seconds, they emerge again on the other side of the Charlesgate, effectively weaving between the land and the water.
