Ho2 SCRAPER
Acrylic in gel encapsulated in glass
200 x 200 x 500mm (H)
The Ho2 scraper is the unique and novel idea of having underwater seascrapers which garnered an honourable mention in the New York based 2010 Evolo skyscraper competition. The Ho2 scraper proposes to break free of the urban fabric and functions as an autonomous floating unit of livable, functional and self sustaining space which will function, in a collective manner, as a floating city. It is self sufficient as it generates its own power, food and supports places for users to live and works in its depths. A poetic antithesis to a skyscraper which goes up into the heavens, the Ho2 scraper goes down to the depths of the sea.
