1 | PROBIOTICS
the good bacteria


Lactobacillus


Bifidobacterium

2 | ENDOSYMBIONT

An endosymbiont is any organism that lives within the body or cells of another organism, i.e. forming an endosymbiosis


Buchnera aphidicola

3 | CULTURED CELL TISSUES



Ara6, a plant-unique novel type Rab GTPase, functions in the endocytic pathway of Arabidopsis thaliana

4 | HEDERA
the IVY






The system, called GROW.1, was conceived by Samuel Cabot Cochran as part of his Industrial Design thesis project, and was later developed and produced by SMIT (Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology), the Brooklyn-based company. Energy generation device that combines photovoltaics and a flexible piezo generator in a modular system. Each module can produce energy from both sunlight and wind. When you combine these modules, you get an ivy-like system that can adorn an exterior wall of a building or any surface that gets wind and/or sunlight.

the SITE





The site is currently a parking lot on the Perimeters of the Lower East Side (LES) adjacent to the Delancy Street access to the Williamsburg bridge, the LES project high-rise residential buildings.
