Short Introduction to the Area of Study

Overpasses are important as a transport structures, but also as elements of everyday landscape which thousansd of people pass on their way.

Dresden’s railway overpass is located in the western part from the city center and connects 3 train stations: Dresden Neustadt, Dresden Mitte and Dresden Hauptbahnhof. Points where overpass cut the streets, space under and it’s surrounding lie in area of our biggest interest. It’a place where pedestrian, cyclists, people going by car and train meet for short moment, to continue travel to their destination.

These places usually exist in people’s minds as not pleasant for the eye structure, sometimes dirty and scary which they need to just go through to get on the other side, in reality the usage and meaning of it, can be much more sophisticated. Overpasses create landscape windows, they can be background, foreground, accent or cover to different spaces. Specific thing about overpasses is that no one is taking responsibility for them; they are a consequence of traffic engineering, and in-between open space and closed space. Also architects nor landscape architects see them as an object that is in their domain.
