CJ Lim | Sky Transport for London (2007)

Designed by CJ Lim, Sarah Custance and Maxwell Mutanda.

"The project seeks to reconfigure London Underground's Circle Line, lifting the footprint of its tracks above ground as a continuous "sky-river" through the great metropolis. Long narrow boats usually with a crew of twenty two would traverse this urban "sky-river" offering a low-carbon, environmentally efficient way for corporate employees to get to and from work as well as catch up on some much needed exercise. Apart from the daily commute this system will play host to an annual race in the Dragon Boat Festival tradition on the fifth day of the fifth month each year pitting teams taken from across London's boroughs in races across the city."
