MASS Carrier
MASS Carrier
Type
Design team: MYSS- Julia Molloy, Christine Yogiaman, Taka Sarui, Minyoung Song
SITE
Located in the urban low-rise district of crown heights, Brooklyn,
our site is where street life is suffocated by the invasive
infrastructure of S train.
DESIGN CONCEPT
MASS carrier proposes a prototypical response to the otherwise
vacant transportation urban voids. The design is a self-sustainable
receptacle that digests urban vices and generates opportunities for
displaced natural elements.
MASS carrier refers to three levels of dissemination - urban, human and natural.
At the urban level, the subway carries the community of ten million
New Yorkers each day, while scarring the immediate neighborhood with
vacant and underutilized land.
Tapping into this transporting potential of the subway, we aim to
disseminate pods of nature into such barren voids of urban environment.
At the human level, seed packages are distributed throughout the
community to rejuvenate the neglected native ecosystem around the
subway. Littering, soliciting and vandalizing with seed products will
contribute to the organic growth of eco-centers bringing animals back
into the urban context.
Lastly, at the natural level, provided with environment to thrive
in, animals can in turn contribute to the re-growth of nature in the
city.
VICE:VIRTUE STRATEGIES
LITTERING:PLANTING
Distributed through local restaurants, individually packaged seeds are
“littered” to create vegetable gardens in designated lots.
SOLICITING:REPRESENTING
A variety of seed packages are distributed per age groups and plugged
into the walls of subway stations to create a community map.
VANDALIZING:HYBRIDIZING
Spray canisters of organic material are used to create a multi-layered sanctuary for both animals and humans.
