Interchanges have a beauty of their own. Maybe just to an engineerish person. Tons of steel reinforced concrete arching through the air in smooth curves. Grade separated to allow the constant flow of traffic zipping through without stopping. Roads and highways that connect your driveway with an entire continent, and interchanges are at the heart of it. Trumpet interchange is beautiful in it's simplicity: https://www.flickr.com/photos/shanta/2220012922/in/set-72157603793833860/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/shanta/2220012922/in/set-72157... Or the Dallas High 5 stack interchange in it's complexity: http://googlesightseeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/HF1-atrb.jpg http://googlesightseeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/HF1-...

We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing automobile with its bonnet adorned with great tubes like serpents with explosive breath ... a roaring motor car which seems to run on machine-gun fire, is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace. -- The Futurist Manifesto, 1908 [1] It didn't turn out well. http://bactra.org/T4PM/futurist-manifesto.html http://bactra.org/T4PM/futurist-manifesto.html
