Photo-Bio-Reactor Facade Melbourne / Australia / 2020
0
Our bio-facade proposal for a Melbourne office tower mimics a tree canopy, acting as a photo-bio-reactor that generates energy, absorbs CO2, and provides shading. Using micro-algae and sunlight, it produces biomass for bio-fuel while adapting to seasonal solar changes. In summer, it maximizes energy production and shading, while in winter, it allows sunlight to warm the building.
