‘Ecosistema pluricelular’ reimagines Frank Lloyd Wright’s third concept for a floating pavilion of metal cylinders, originally designed for the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, envisioning it as an extension of Northerly Island in 2023. This hypothetical pavilion shifts the focus to how architecture can address humanity's environmental impact by redefining "natural" spaces as tools for ecological repair. The pavilion’s interior features a curated selection of projects and research dedicated to fostering cooperation across species and disciplines to better understand and collaborate with nature. Outside, floating gardens host native plants and attract wildlife, creating a harmonious space shared by human and non-human participants alike.

Structurally, the pavilion consists of interconnected floating cells, each joined by hollow metal tubes that connect the roof, walls, and foundation, forming a cohesive multi-cellular design. After the exhibition, these cells can be detached and dispersed around the lake, extending the pavilion’s influence beyond the event itself. This project, which earned me the 2023 Arquia Foundation Internship Scholarship, demonstrates how speculative design can inspire ongoing discussions on sustainability and ecological integration.
