32SW Stay green / Flying Garden / Air-Port-City, 2007

Saraceno’s works combine architecture with engineering to exemplify the overarching themes behind the Air-Port-City, which is his vision of a floating metropolis that “seeks to challenge today’s political, social, cultural, and military restrictions in an attempt to re-establish new concepts of synergy.”

By having these works travel to cities around the world, a modern-day international dialogue is created that questions concepts of boundaries, property, and immobile architecture. How will current policy be altered in the future to incorporate permissible construction and implementation of waterbound and airborne habitations?
