The automobile and architecture continue to operate as unsynchronized functions. While the automobile is constantly evolving as a means of technology and space, architecture is trapped in a vacuous state, slow to adapt, un-evolved, submitting to the will of the car. Since its invention, the automobile and the infrastructures it travels, has remained a challenge to architecture. The relationship between automobile and architecture has reached a tipping point, and therefore needs to be re-questioned.enArchitectureTechnological innovationsTransportation, AutomotiveAutomobile travelLand usePlanningEcologyThesisCopyright 2009 by Blake Anthony Preszler
