Sustainable highways by Studio Roosegaarde & Heijmans

Sometimes people are at least as inspiring as the work they make. Daan’s ideas about the merging of technology into our everyday lives shows a thoughtful intelligence, and the intriguing nature of his ideas also give hope to how we are going to experience future urban landscapes.

The Smart Highway is a road which generates electricity when cars drive on it. Besides its sustainable ideology, this project is also about customizing and personalizing the environment using technology and smart design. Whenever Daan is doing a talk near you, be sure not to miss it.

    Brilliant! It would be better to forward few meters the light effect to improve prediction on the highway. Anyway, a great ‘green’ project.

    nice idea, but before it works, public transport system must be working too, because individual cars will never be as green as trains carring lots of people!
