Exhibition catalog to the Czech-born Argentinian sculptor's space age installation known as the Ciudad Hidroespacial, a series of maquette Plexiglass pods that the designer imagined would be suspended 5000 feet above the earth and powered with the oxygen and hydrogen harnessed from cloud vapor. "The installation combines [Kosice's] critiques of modern functionalist architecture and the human destruction of the environment with his interest in science, technology, and the use of non-traditional materials" (see Hidden Architecture Journal). First conceived more than 25 years earlier, in 1946, the Ciudad could just as easily be dreamed up today.
