'Nicoll 17' -- Richard Nicoll & Rodrigo Flores-Roux
Entering Utopia 17 one immediately hears thousands of thoughts echoing off the sphere. Built at the crossroads of vice and virtue; it became an unlikely antidote to the conflict of progress and preservation. Every block is a custom greenhouse inside of a greenhouse. Made of glass so the light shines through each layer of the street, buildings and rooms; it reflects all the hues of green from the outside, in. There are no seasons. No beginnings or ends. Just one big beautiful irrational expression of life.
