PROTOTYPE URBAN ECOLOGY EAST RIVER NYC III
MATERIALIZATION - 2013
This model had the same research work that the project would potentially confront with the new ecology that is planned to grow in it. Some parts of the model were carefully designed and planned using 3d computer modeling, later on, they were translated into a real object through computerized machines, like CNC.
Taking the opposite direction, the plants, which were alive, were carefully planted at first, using no technology at all and treating them as a sculpture.
There was a small amount of artificial plants mixed in the ecosystem, to magnify the relationship between living and inert matter and maximize the idea of a non-hierarchy system based on connections.

During the final stage the vegetation was left alone, so it could grow and develop by it self.
Each plant needed a different treatment and care, moisture, light and/or soil. This was a prototype of the possible real situation, where technology, design and different living and non-living entities interact.
