This weekend (April 27-28), New Habitat will be hosting a hackathon as part of the Ideas City Festival that will present architecture as an “API” to be hacked. The hackathon will mobilize a diverse group of architects, designers, artists, engineers, and technologists by providing the designs for a proposed building in New York City to be hacked away at, into and through to new ideas for domestic living.
To participate, hackers of all stripe can register on Eventbrite at new-habitat.eventbrite.com.

Eco Drones | Christopher Geist
By capitalizing on the FAA Modernization and Reform Act, which created guidelines for the introduction of unmanned aircraft, drones could be introduced to Manhattan. Free of the traditional limitations of the street grid, the drones’ paths could evenly spread seeds throughout the city, thereby bridging the ecological gaps within the urban fabric. Better able to mitigate the urban context, the drones will do what natural processes could not: re-introduce plant life to the city and aid in sustainability.
Tourist Trap | Prathyusha Viddam
The most efficient path in a city as dense as Manhattan is not necessarily the shortest route. Tourist Trap suggests a system in which to both highlight that path and to encourage more seamless transfers between modes of transportation. Motion sensing LEDs are embedded within the ground at heavily trafficked subway stations, tracing the fast pace of local New Yorkers. The ghost path left behind remains long enough to guide passengers from the next train to the streets and buses aboveground, simultaneously leading them around meandering tourists.
In a city as dense as New York, unused space is rare. Block Party maximizes the potential of abandoned space in the city by exploring the hybridization of infrastructure and building. Vacant and unused portions of subway stations are reclaimed for bike storage, capitalizing on New York’s initiatives to encourage commuters’ bike and subway use. During rush hour, the storage units remain compacted under the street, but expand to double their size during off hours. By taking over the street, Block Party creates a new landscape that responds to both traffic patterns and infrastructure.
Today is the last day to catch the Imagining the Lowline and Experiments in Motion exhibitions. The installation marks the end of the first year of Experiments in Motion, a partnership between Audi of America and Columbia GSAPP through the Audi Urban Future Initiative. The exhibit is located at the Essex Street Warehouse in New York City
