Freeways and the Experience of Architecture

November 2, 2017 Larry Barnett

In 1966 Kurt contacted the California Division of Highways about writing an article about freeways as a form of art and architecture for its publication California Highways and Public Works. Correspondence went back and forth between Kurt and Information Officer Raymond F. Law, but it does not appear the article was ever published. Nonetheless, it is an extension of ideas Kurt had been exploring in other essays about the aesthetic experience of freeways, which combine structure and passage. It's an interesting read, particularly in light of the freeway development of the past 50 years.
