The intervention is a prototypical urban garden that can be sited in different parts of the city. It is located in between the Bradbury building and the Million Dollar Theatre on 3rd and Broadway. By using different principles of geometry, our component tries to play with an idea of complexity in different layers. It creates a sense of porosity when assembled with each other. This component was designed so that it looks different from every angle while being functional. The design looks at interfacing the functionality of our day-to-day lives with a more social and public front by introducing a prototype of green communal spaces by juxtaposing it over the existing city. It would be personalized based on location as it would be a composition of its neighborhood. This intervention promotes the use of external void spaces, all along the edges of the busy city.
The design uses Processing as a base for the design. Creating tracking agents and boundaries, the script used a 3D mesh which acts as the boundary from which the agents make a path to create the platform. This project uses technology and various architectural tools to produce the design. It questions the role of technology that replaces human intervention for creating efficient and functional architecture.
