Star Cocoon
New York, NY, United States
The project will create a spatial environment in Union Square Park that allows communities to engage with each other. Shared community spaces are important cultural areas of our society and require design which is attractive, functional, and allows for multi-use. ‘Star Cocoon’ is a communication device that will be used for gathering, entertainment, and resting. The idea and concept manifested within this project is based on the emphasis of communication. The geometry consists of a pierced volumetric Cocoon shape to generate transparent, monolithic and ephemeral qualities. The project is now part of the permanent exhibition at the Yeshiva Museum in New York.
