Roads to nowhere: how infrastructure built on American inequality

archatlas:

There are more than one million miles of federal aid highways in the US, which cost $105bn a year to maintain. If American highway spending were a country, it would have the world’s 63rd largest GDP, just behind Morocco. But while these roads unify and connect millions of the country’s citizens, they’ve also excluded and destroyed many black communities.

Yueqi Jazzy Li captures “sublime quality” of Luyeyuan Buddhist Sculpture Museum in new photos
New photographs by Yueqi Jazzy Li capture the interplay of natural light on the raw concrete walls in this sculpture museum by Jiakun Architects in Chengdu, China.

“Nearly 16 years later, it still holds a significant place in the discourse of modern Chinese architecture,” Li told Dezeen. “For those that follow contemporary Chinese architects, many including myself see him and Wang Shu as the leading pioneers whose works truly start to address modernity in the context of China.”
