Intertwining Waterfall
Implying environmental sustainability was the ultimate goal for this project. Targeting zero emissions in line with the New York City Mobilization Act, the design would decrease the temperature by at least 5 degrees and dampen noise reflection within the International Living Future Institute Office. Exploring the solution by using the selection of yarn, canvas, and…

This relationship led us to focus on the impact of construction on the land, and how this one-directional flow of delivered material can fit in with architecture’s evolving role in supporting the environment. We designed biomaterial packaging…
