DESIGN QUESTIONS
       • What opportunities exist to alleviate
         the energy problems that arise with
         urbanization?

       • How can examples of living
         ecosystems, like bacteria and plant
         life, be applied into urban
         infrastructure?

       • How can the co-evolution of people
         and plants shift urban planning?

       • What kinds of participatory
         methods perpetuate this                 ELECTRICAL GRID
         methodology?                            BEIRUT, LEBANON

CONCEPT


                  An exploration of renewable energy through the
                      co-evolution of technology and natural
                    ecosystems that redefines urbanism as an
                         autonomous, cellular organism.

Constant Nieuwenhuys             “..an intimate bonding of desire and space will
                            UNITARY URBANISM & NEW BABYLON   provide a new kind of architecture for a new society.”

SYSTEMS



       DELANCEY UNDERGROUND - “The Low Line”



       Fixed Locations
       Community gardens,                      Repurposing unused/
       public parks                            underutilized space
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
NEXT STEPS
       • final product as a modular light installation -- needs to exist on campus

       • series of products? phone charger, compost bin, plant pods, etc...

       • translating cellular protocol in UI/UX (individuals able to function, but to also
         coordinate and function collectively)

       • establishing work as a critical design piece and pragmatic solution
