Designed by architect Suchi Reddy, Turbulence 2025 is a series of reflective panels with parts that move with the wind, accompanied by a sonic installation. Gathering and distorting its surroundings, the work reflects the landscape in a way unseen before. This site-specific work was designed to make the invisible visible. Inspired by research on how plants express stress as sounds in a frequency that human ears cannot hear, nonetheless sending a message possibly legible to other species, this work seeks to make present what we don’t see and don’t hear to inspire empathy and action. What do we do, when we know that what is happening is harmful—for the planet and for us? Who hears and sees our distress? Created for Brooklyn Botanic Garden, 2025 Suchi Reddy, fellow of The American Institute of Architects (AIA), is an architect, designer, and artist based in NYC. In 2002, she founded Reddymade, which focuses on public art installations, large-scale commercial spaces, and residential projects. Guided by her mantra “form follows feeling,” Reddy’s architectural and artistic practice is informed by her research on neuroaesthetics, which examines the impact our environments have on the brain and body.
