Architectural collaborators David Benjamin and Soo-in Yang, based in New York, call their group the Living. If buildings could talk to one another, what would they say? The Living City is an ecology of facades where individual buildings collect data, share it with others in their social network, and respond to the collective body of knowledge. The facades monitor local air quality, exchange information with other buildings, and open gills to control air flow and make visible the invisible effects of changing air.
