The American Museum of Natural History Butterfly Feeders has been awarded a “Best of the Best” Red Dot Award for Design Concept!

Butterflies are important harbingers of environmental change. The conservatory and feeders offer not just a visceral experience, but also an opportunity to learn about butterflies in their active role to support diverse ecosystems. Visited by millions of children and adults, the vivarium invites people to encounter hundreds of fluttering, variegated butterflies among blooming tropical flowers and lush green vegetation. Biomorphic feeders highlight their fragile life cycle and why it is critical that we protect these precious specimens.

Developed for Terreform ONE, a nonprofit architecture and urban design research-based studio located in NYC.

2021.

Pleased to be on the design team for Terreform ONE’s project, the Bio-Informatic Digestor, chosen for display at this year’s Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture.

The Bio-Informatic Digester is a machine in the garden that utilizes mealworms to eat styrofoam packaging from e-waste. At the base, the tesseract shaped white cube showcases mealworms devouring community donated styrofoam. It erodes over time to reveal a pre-made graph of future zero-waste projections. Tapping into a new mandate of recycling, this project demonstrates a method of biologically-driven recycling that can contribute to urban biodiversity. Furthermore, the project visualizes the often-unseen beneficial live insect behavior in cities. Manifesting ecological routines into a visible spectacle is a utilitarian mechanism for building awareness and communicating intentions. Instead of burying or hiding urban metabolic infrastructure, reversing its presence is desirable. Foregrounding nature as an aestheticized and functional event in its myriad of forms is an excellent design objective. Giving citizens the capacity to see waste, energy or water systems in flux highlights their value and immediacy.

SOILED No. 6: Deathscrapers is now available at Printed Matter, Inc. in NYC!

www.printedmatter.org/catalog/47471

"Printed Matter, Inc. is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit grant-supported bookstore, artist organization, and arts space presently located at 231 11th Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. Printed Matter focuses on publications made and distributed by artists. (...) Many radical, avant-garde and experimental artists and writers have been linked to Printed Matter, Inc. Figures in its early history were critic and artist Lucy Lippard, artist Sol LeWitt, and Carl Andre among others. Printed Matter served as a sort of support system for avant-garde artists as well as a place of community, oftentimes balancing functions as both a producer of books as well as an exhibition space and center of the downtown arts scene."(1)

"As one of the world’s largest publicly available source for artists' books, Printed Matter is an important voice in a vibrant and expanding field. At the heart of our mission is a longstanding open submission process, inviting artists and independent publishers to submit their books for sale at Printed Matter. We circulate over 32,000 publications annually on behalf of artists and small presses through our non-profit store in Chelsea, our online catalog and other distribution channels. With a commitment to representing and engaging a diverse community of artists, Printed Matter is in many cases one of the few outlets for artist-made publications on the peripheries of mainstream distribution networks."(2)

DEATHSCRAPERS summons the architecture that surrounds the dearly departed. Seeking alternately to soften death’s physical and emotional toll or cultivate death’s instrumental potential, the stories of Deathscrapers span all scales of spaces for the dead and the bereaved to examine how living people engage with dead bodies, expired buildings, and comatose cities. While death may be a solemn subject and discussing it openly is often taboo in American culture, this issue of SOILED offers an optimistic and human attitude toward understanding how spatial and architectural issues actively participate in death culture.

IN THIS ISSUE: Zack Saunders re-appropriates dead bodies as surrogate wombs for human gestation.

Exhibition Examines the Future of Nutrition

(...)

"Feed Me was a pop-up exhibition that took place during NYCxDesign 2015. The show challeged designers to create artifacts that commented on or visualized future products that related to nutrition and food. The exhibition included work from 22 designers ranging from practical to conceptual.

"F.A.S.E. (Flavor Augmenting Scent Emitters) by Oscar Salguero and Zack Saunders is a wearable scent generator concept that replicates food smells. The project imagines a scenario 70 years in the future where all food is manufactured in homogeneous form and separate devices generate taste and smell."
