Title: Hydro-Utopian Device
Description: The proposal is defined as a utopian speculation on how to inhabit the atmosphere as a collective solution for informal (self-built) neighborhoods located at high altitudes in the global south. More than an architectural proposal our design is a futuristic provocation on how fog harvesting could be industrialized to support food security in informal environments through urban agriculture. The proposal is a direct reference to the "1909" theorem drawn by
A.B Walker and present in Rem Koolhaas's Delirious New York as a methodology of utopian, ecological, and vertical inhabitation.
This project came from a collaboration between
@c.gagaza and
@jeanchoi_ (@nuarchitecture_soan M.Arch. ‘25) and
@alejandrosaldarriagarubio, founder of
@alsar_atelier and former Northeastern faculty.
The project was showcased at the Versailles Biennale of Architecture and Landscape in Summer ‘25, and featured in Frame Magazine in fall ‘25.
