Cathedral for Death

Ukiyo.Land sets itself within a narrative post-human world that questions reality through the cyborg body, as posed within the “Cyborg Manifesto” by Donna Haraway and “The Machine in the Garden” by Leo Marx. As a design tool, the cyborg is used to respond to our climate, sustainability practices. It proposes an infrastructural leisure district, acting as a regenerative prosthesis within the local landscape. Ukiyo.Land uses designed responsive machine elements that use ecology and human physiology to clean the localized air, water and river waste.

It poses the question: how would cyborgs recreate the Garden of Eden?
