Architectural Forest
Architectural Forest is a temporary pavilion proposal at MoMA PS1 that explores the environmental and experiential complexity of a forest network. The living ecosystems of forests inspire the design while bringing attention to the massive effects of deforestation and the direct link to the overall carbon problem.
Under the light of this knowledge, Architectural Forest proposes an abstraction of the forest network as an alternative solution that addresses the CO2 problem using cutting edge technology along with living organisms designed to store CO2 within its components. MoMA PS1, on the other side, offers the opportunity to educate
visitors through an experiential journey on the effects of deforestation, culminating the transition in the museum galleries.
