These new urban algae can produce as much oxygen as four hectares of woodland
Created by Hungarian designer Peter Horvath, this bio lamp design is sleek chamber that contains algae and water
It was presented as a prototype in this year’s expo Milano, the project was presented by London’s based ecoLogicStudio as part of the future food-district project
The bio digital structure pumps a fluid with microalgae around a transparent shelter, this produces shade, energy in the form of biomass and an impressive amount of oxygen
When the sun shines intensively, the algae will photosynthesize and grow which will reduce the transparency of the canopy and provide shade
The idea is to include the canopy in future buildings and by doing so strengthen the relationship between organic and high-tech systems
” Integrating organic and artificial systems opens up sustainable possibilities for everything from temperature control to power generation methods using advantages of both natural and digital parts “
