Description
This futuristic project designed by ecoLogicStudio wants to open new doors to the bio-digital architecture. A controlled flow of energy, water and CO2 generates not only a natural process of photosynthesis, but also allows the algae to grow. This is the perfect combination because the algae creates a natural shadow underneath the ETFE roof. Taiyo Europe’s work comprised the design of the 2 layered ETFE cushions of this bioreactor.
