Holobiont Urbanism by Parsons School of Design
Holobiont Urbanism is a research endeavor that sets out to study, map, and visualize the microbiome of New York City, in order to reimagine the city as more than a vast metropolis, but rather as a complex and adaptive biological superstructure. Using a design aesthetic crafted from a scientific framework, quantitative and artistic methods are used to produce data visualizations. The project seeks to distort one's perception to see the city through the lens of a microbial world.
