SUPERTALL SUPEROBJECT
Supertall Superobject: Proposal for Collective Living IV, Model Behavior, The Cooper Union, New York, New York, 2022
Team: Office Kovacs
Project Description:
Supertall Superobject is a model for collective living made through physical three-dimensional collage. Recognizable readymade parts are altered, stacked, and assembled into a vertical conglomerate.
Standing 6 feet 4 inches tall, the model draws on the proportions of New York’s supertall buildings while proposing another way to imagine high-rise living: a dense accumulation of different parts, spaces, and architectural characters. It was exhibited in Model Behavior at The Cooper Union.
