Overpass is the original prototype for creating a “cold,” industrial structure with “warm” materials and craft-based processes. It was conceived for a show centered around skateboarding.  One of the most noticeable, lasting side-effects of skateboarding is how it can affect the way one observes and participates with a city. Spaces of seemingly low value take on new meaning and possibility after understanding their potential to an activity outside of their traditional use.
