Freeways are notorious amongst urban planners for destroying neighborhoods, but tearing them down is often impossible due to the infrastructure needs of our auto-centric nation. To repair the severed urban fabric, a massive Skyvillage has been proposed to connect Los Angeles' four city quadrants separated by the intersection of the 101 and 110 freeways. Winner of an Honorable Mention in the 2014 eVolo Skyscraper Competition, the Skyvillage promises a pollution-fighting, car-free building that's elevated almost as high as the pie-in-the-sky proposal itself.
