The development of petroleum-based technologies and infrastructures has produces significant changes in the build environment. Infrastructures of the age of oil are being abounded, demolished, and adapted to the reconfiguration of the energy age.
The new typology of the multi-modal transfer interchange and their traffic islands will become the key nodal type and a dominant productive mega-regional infrastructure. These Interchanges will be places where the highest-quality concentrations of natural resources are available.
Each of the road-ramp interchanges along its length serves different programs and functions for loading and distributing resulted goods that affect changes in speed and direction.
However, the architecture of each interchange renders an average blended topography to its surrounding context. These provide an ideal location for modal switch sites and terminal and interchange structures, as well as potential to house new typologies that will benefit from the proximity to the mobility and renewable energy conduit.
