The Botanical Speculation

The Botanical Speculation envisions reintroducing nature as a core infrastructure element in urban architecture, transforming vacant office spaces on Park Avenue into dynamic environments that foster symbiotic interactions between human and non-human inhabitants. By integrating native New York City plants and Utilizing sunlight exposure determined by neighbor contexts, the design enhances biodiversity and redefines traditional boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. The results transform the original typical and repetitive office floor plans into a dynamic set of systems that varies in different floors. Key features include reshaping building podiums to improve sunlight penetration, expanding the facade with mechanisms to regulate microclimate, and integrating a self-sufficient water reuse system.
