Wayring: Birmingham's Plan for Walk

Yoav Caspi, MArch (Year: 5)

Wayring: Birmingham’s Plan for Walk is an infrastructure allowing the city of Birmingham to reflect. Wayring, an inversion of the infamous Ringway, connects the city allowing Birmingham to see itself anew. The project connects between and through fifty-two red brick derelict buildings, joining existing walking paths. Birmingham’s Plan for Walk is a recurring strategy that preserves derelict buildings through selective demolition process of brick removal and reconstruct markers throughout the city with those removed bricks. Wayring is an infrastructure that offers a space of thought and contemplation in everyday life as well as an opportunity to see the city, Birmingham, anew.
