|RE|InfraStructured: Urban regeneration by integrating infrastructural residual space

This thesis holds a study on infrastructural residual space, space that is residual to the development of big scale infrastructure. By a desire to place these infrastructure as efficient as possible, meaning the trough flow and the building cost/time, these are constructed (location and dimension) without any concern to its adjacent context. The...
