Living Systems Drawing 2
The second in our three-part series of living systems drawings, this sketch imagines and critiques urban micro-climates. In 1960, Buckminster Fuller and Shoji Sadao proposed a dome covering the entire width of Midtown Manhattan essentially to control weather within. We were intrigued by the perils and economics of privatized climate systems and how such an industry might develop in relation to climate change. This scenario is illustrated across an expanse of rooftop prairies.
