The Silk Road has permitted through the ages the very experience of travelling: people crossing it were actually living on travel and therefore were forced to consider how distance in space absolutely corresponds to distance in time. If the organizational question, which time-zones constitute for transcontinental States, still manifests such condition, the establishment of an Euro-Asiatic high speed rail system will inject such issue in the everyday life of every Euro-Asian. Thus, we intend to advance the idea of a new type of City inserted in this infrastructure: architecturally articulated by di fferent space-time conditions, this Silk Road City will re-order di fferent time-zone experiences in the form of stacked floors while facilitating the localized coordination among the extremes of such giant infrastructures. The life within this City, a continuous movement among di fferent time-zone, will be the very Silk Road monument.

The Silk Road City is a project by: AsMArchitecture, Alessandro Martinelli + Nicola Marinello, www.as-ma.net, asma.meetarch@gmail.com
