It overlooks the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in Lower Manhattan. This large-scale green infrastructure project was designed and installed using [Sempergreen](https://vimeo.com/1174376074?fl=pl&fe=vl)'s outdoor system. It features more than 25,000 plants woven into a highly engineered hydroponic living wall. As E-STEAM Playtime attendees, we'll have the opportunity to explore how this innovative system creates a resilient and sustainable urban landscape, while serving as a serene natural backdrop within one of New York City’s most meaningful public spaces. * * As [E-STEAM Playtime Planetary Flight Crew](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zV0E2Wu2pm2dy4bHhlMrPkErHeqABkAX/view?usp=sharing) members, we are all like the astronauts, on the International Space Station (ISS), checking out our Environmental Control and Life-Support System (ECLSS). * * This Liberty Living Wall represents an urban ECLSS, which supports the [biology of urban precipitation cycles](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pvqiR8XGRhnZmzhIPBGoozVeKn-Ki2dr/view?pli=1) * * In this YouTube link, to the ISS astronaut [Commander Chris Hadfield](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNo) playing his guitar and singing "Space Oddity" on the ISS, his team's ECLSS is fully functional.

(MM)🌟 CO-CREATIVITY WITH AIR! 🌟 Guided Little Island Tour | Nielsen & Jabro

**CALLING ALL PLANETARY FLIGHT CREWS!** * **Join us for our 3rd Annual month-long October E-STEAM Playtime Co-Creativity with Air activities.** * * 📍***WHERE:*** On Friday, October 2, the first October weekend, we will begin in New York City, on a FREE [Archtober Guided Tour, of Little Island,](https://partiful.com/e/dXHcZXgSC99z8AyPc3Mu) led by none other than the Little Island's Landscape Architect Signe Nielsen, and the Little Island's Architect of Record Fabian Jabro! * * For those who will not be just picking up, and going to New York City for a weekend, your co-creativity partners will be coming back to Denver, for the rest of our October activities to share this wonderful experience with you. (Also, I can only use the MDT time zone, on this Meetup announcement, but this tour is from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm EDT.) * * 👤***FEATURED EDUTAINERS:*** **Fabian Jabro**, Architect of Record, with [Standard Architects](https://www.standardarchitects.com), and **Signe Nielsen**, Landscape Architect with [Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects, P.C.](https://www.mnlandscape.com) transformed a beautiful co-creativity dream, into a beautiful co-creativity reality! * * 🚀 ***WHAT:*** Signe and Fabian are excellent members of Earth's Planetary Flight Crew! * From birth, each of us is a co-creativity edutainer. All you have to do is notice all the YouTube videos of babies' first expressions to know - "Yup!" there's another featured co-creativity edutainer! \* When these two co-creativity edutainers grew up, and became senior members of our Planetary Flight Crew's Co-Creativity with Air, their combined conscious, and intentional co-creativity helped to design a little piece of heaven, here on the urban Earth of New York City! * The [CBS Sunday Morning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ6kxYxyvI4) video on YouTube introduced us to the billionaire named Barry Diller, who connected these two co-creativity edutainers, with his shared vision for a beautiful new reality of a socially and environmentally vibrant Little Island. This Little Island is taking the place of what once was a beaten up Pier 54. On April 11, 1912, the brand new "unsinkable" Titanic, which was built in [Belfast, Ireland](https://www.titanicbelfast.com/history-of-titanic/titanic-stories/titanic-s-maiden-voyage-the-queenstown-connection/), left from Ireland, expecting to arrive at New York City's Pier 54. Instead, on April 18, 1912, an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 people arrived at this port to welcome the return of the 712 survivors of the sunken Titanic. The Bowery Boys Podcast story "[The Fate of Pier 54](https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2023/04/the-titanic-and-the-fate-of-pier-54.html)" shows this Little Island standing like a gravesite memorial, not just for the estimated lost 1,500 passengers, but for the lost dreams of co-creativity connections between continents. This Little Island has become an intentional site for global life-supporting co-creativity connections. \* * [The Little Island's online announcement](https://littleisland.org/event/archtober-guided-tour-of-little-island/2026-10-02/2/) of this tour says that RSVPs are not required. However, you have the option of RSVPing for event updates, and social connections, through the [Partiful database](https://partiful.com/e/dXHcZXgSC99z8AyPc3Mu).
