Founded in 2008 by David Belt, Macro Sea exists as a series of collaborations between experts in a wide variety of disciplines. We work with artists, architects, designers, scientists, lawyers, city governments, financiers, arts organizations, and others.

Macro Sea has executed projects in the built environment and conceptual realms, in New York City and around the world. Our work has been featured in MoMA and the Venice Biennale.

Our mission is to do projects that we find interesting, working with people we love:

Ice Walls

Concept, 2012
Winter

Seasons change and so do construction sites — and often, before work starts, the lot sits fallow. Macro Sea wants to transform these empty spaces. In winter, wait for a hard freeze, dump a water tank down a vertical surface, and invite urban mountaineers to scale it. We were inspired by ice climbers using grain silos in the Midwest, and thought, what would it be like to bring this to New York City?
