Design in spatial planning of highways
Design in spatial planning of highways

Summary/Abstract: The national project of highway construction is still, although its realisation is underway, entangled in fundamental conceptual dilemmas concerning goals, criteria and parameters. The programme has wide public support, nevertheless modes of implementation are subject to vast professional and public critique; public concerning expenditure, professional concerning establishing suitable criteria. The next hindrance is the (mis)understanding of the road as an object with cultural value; the consequence of such practice being in the reduction of designers into decorators of adopted decisions.
