Buenos Aires Vertical Zoo Proposal
The “ECO-CLIFF” is a revolutionary tower that will serve as a nesting ground for thousands of migrating birds as well as an ecological habitat for the different animals and species of the “Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve Zoo”.
Wrapped around a rigid structure, a system of nets and steel cables of varying densities covers the different functions, while maintaining, from a distance, the tower’s image of an organic cliff.
The perforated skin of the tower will allow the controlled penetration of natural light and fresh air as well as rain water, in preferred areas, along with a system of green vegetation ingrained in the netting system, thus creating a small eco-system within the buildings boundary.
In order to minimize the damage to the reserve by motored vehicles and the reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions in the city, the Eco-Cliff’s main entrance is via a cable-way which connects to a public transportation system. As an option, we suggest to re-use the old mill silos at Puerto Madero as a possible gateway station, therefore connecting the Av. De Mayo urban axis and subway station to the Costanera Sur Reserve.

Banksy in NYC
As Shephard Fairey's May Day art opening got crazier and crazier, b-boys rapping outside, the black motorcycle gang revving their engines in unison, celebrities pushing their way through the 5000 people standing outside, someone turned to me and was like "Yo! Banksy is walking among us. I think he's here...I think I know who he is." We stared at one guy who was holding a video camera for ten minutes, staring at his hands (cause those are the only thing you see in the movie about him), his mannerisms, his reactions...Was that him? Have we finally spotted the ever so secretive Banksy????
For those who don't know, Banksy is one of the illest street artists in the world, but his identity has always been unknown. Police have been chasin' dude for years...art collectors have tried to take out the concrete on the sidewalk where his work appears and sell it for hundreds of thousands of dollars...and graffiti writers have idolized his style. This British born artist still remains a mystery.
BUT...his work has shown up on the streets of New York City. There have been four sitings of his work since May 1 (Shephard's art opening). So, maybe, just maybe that girl who told me she thinks Banksy was among us that night, was right.
