Infrastructure - a fundamental component of a city's vitality - has long served as a very public and accessible element of urban life and today remains one of the last truly common spaces shared by citizens. Infrastructural Monument explores how infrastructure can transcend the merely practical and fulfil a role that is profoundly cultural - one that moves beyond the transportation of goods and labor and into a realm of architecture, public space, and landscape form.

The Center for Advanced Urbanism at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology focused its first conference around this theme, collecting case studies showing
how infrastructure can, in fact, create the stage for sharing and creating culture in our cities.
