The congestion in one point in Wellington City, New Zealand, lead to competition for a new urban plan focussing mainly on the Basin Reserve area. Through the thorough analysis of the situation, it was decided to parody Wellington’s urban condition to the condition of a patient needing urgent heart bypass surgery. Although the analogy seems like comic relief for an overly serious topic, the end outcome was a well considered bypass highway strategy based on new technology the “Swirlgraft bypass”. The Swirlgraft strategy reformalised the existing services in the area and changed the blockage into a transpot hub, informal entrance to Wellington City from the airport and allowed new unobstructed city circulation to propogate.
