What materials, plants, and watering mechanism would I have need of to do something like this surrounded by my small NY apartment?

Would be on a wall by the window.

Ideally, I'd know how to water it at the bottom and own some form of irrigation system.

The more detail and product names, the better. I intend to build it, but I don't know where on earth to start.
Is in that a website which will tell...
Answers:    i would think that chicken chain or some sort of small trellis would support it, most importantly you need to know what these plants are, some may be specimens instinctively harvested stale of cliff faces by the artist. you can probably find a honest fertilizer recammendation by checking out a garden store that specializes in hydroponics, I am sure you can numeral out a homemade recirculating pump/reservior system to keep the nutrients and hose flowing over the roots since gravity will be doing half the work. yeah and bring in sure your window face south or you won;t have any muted in the wintertime. hope you catch it built looks really cool, maybe you could incorperate a chute and aquarium/pond into it as well. flawless luck
Where is a 'great' place to live surrounded...
pink moon vine is hardy outside in those winters if you want to do something outside. it dies to the ground within the fall. bougainvilleas are idyllic except they have thorns, but if you dont shift near them the will be great.

adjectives you need is wires.
