I've begun to explore ways in which the proposed infrastructure might interact with both the landscape below and the sky above, while connecting physically to, and being grounded by a datum line (the skyway) floating in the in-between.
One scheme explores how the built structure only lightly touches the landscape below, emphasizing its place in the in-between along the elevated highway - an intermediate zone between earth and sky.

The second scheme plays more with ways in which the built forms may more intensively interact with and shape the environment below. This offers interesting possibilities of land-making through deposition, erosion, and accretion over time as a direct result of placing stable forms within an unstable and fluid environment.
Over time, highs and lows would form as a result of water flow, creating streams and islands below and south of the site. These forms could then be brought up to interact with the structure that helped form them.
More explorations to come....
How interesting!
