Entry Description

'Symbiosis' is a capsule hotel set in the Soho area of New York that introduces and educates visitors and occupants the combination of city life and urban farming.
The project explores how can the city consumerism that has almost always been a single direction of exploitation to the environment be modified in the future to another system of living through accomplishing the opposite, to live and work towards a system of collaboration in symbiosis with nature, adapting a mutual relationship between us and the environment.
