Testing the forefront of design collaboration with artificial intelligence, we generated complexly hybridized architectural images with an uncanny combination of mechanical and biological resemblance. Interest in provoking qualities of an artificial sublime by creating a richly featured landscape and occupiable yet object-less terrain. The development zone site on Governors Island encourages a mixture of economic, scientific, and artistic programming that focuses on public engagement and responding to the climate change crisis. This project investigated systems of sustainable food production and aquaculture, within structures that intimately contact marine ecosystems, re-configuring the typical built relationship between humans, land, and water, city dwellers and their food supply.
