The ECO-Nest proposes a modular, component based urban system to be installed in Governors Island in New York City. Inspired by concepts of video game urbanism and designed to provide refuge from the bustling city, the system is flexible and expandable to accommodate growth. The raised platforms allow the system to permeate the existing coastline, blurring the demarcation of land vs water and allowing it to function even under flooding conditions in the future. Designed from a “catalog” of different functions, the new urban proposal would enable a certain form of “glamping” (which already exists on the island) as well as new functions of play, meditation, and urban circulation.
