Super Galaxy NYC > Tropospheric Refuge, Hotel and Leisurescape
Super Galaxy is an architectural system saturated in atmospheric and electronic phenomena. It is a nomadic enclave in an endless state of spatial and material flux. As it fluctuates between states of varying coherence (solidity, liquidity, and gaseousness) its inner structure maintains an invisible, yet definable pattern. It is a responsive system capable of dynamically interacting with its surroundings on many levels. It is in a constant state of motion as it calibrates and recalibrates relative to both real-time global datasets (weather, pollution, warfare, etc.) and local datasets (desired micro-climates, heat exchange, light and sound).

Energy Farm in Seoul, Korea [2nd Prize Winner - Seoul Performing Arts Island Competition 2005]
The “Urban Energy Farm” proposes a complex intermeshing of variable interacting agents. Three interacting fields of the ground, the space frame and the sky-pins compose a differentiated yet synthetic landscape that is capable of finely controlling and generating a series of varied environment. Though a synthetic set of parameters, this proposal works to create difference at the micro scale of inhabitation. These fully responsive sets of site systems respond, fluctuate, transform and produce according to environmental or energy needs of program and inhabitation. The parametric tools of design become energetic agents in the conception and activation of urban space. Project Credits: Jason Johnson, Nataly Gattegno with Anthony Viola, Beth Haber
