Description:

Antoni Gaudi’s 1908 skyscraper for NYC is reinterpreted here as a prototype based on structural concatenated catenaries actualized as signal feedback simulation/optimization across generations conforming an Artificial Neural Network. The installation aims at pairing the infinity of the fields of skyscrapers in Jersey City, Manhattan and Brooklyn in the background view from Stapleton Esplanade. The installation is a prototype for a skyscraper that can implement catenaries to optimize a construction system based on slabs and enables viewers to experience an empty skyscraper structural-envelope with an interior top featured catenary-dome landscape. The installation proposes a skyscraper typology as a voided functional space, bringing the voided space as a social experiential inhabitable art piece in Staten Island’s waterfront landscape.

This exhibition is presented by New York Institute of Technology. This project was made possible with assistance from NYIT’s School of Architecture and Design, MS Architectural Computational Technologies: Research Assistant Mike Saad and Research Students Yashraj Chauhan, Arefin Chisty, Selin Dastan, Jacob Sam; Meraj Nasir, Karan Patel, Alejandro Romero, Amisha Bavadiya, and Jahan Selim.
