Special Mention
- Year2021
Located in the North Sea, the self-growing island-organism proposes an alternative, speculative way of ethically inhibiting water. Making use of synthetic biology applied to architectural scales, the island aims to exist as a self-sufficient organism which is contributing to the eco-system, becoming a part of it.
Processes such as protocell growth, algae production, solar, aeolian and hydrogen energy, synthetic photosynthesis and electrolysis, all define a place which aims to become the catalyst to a more environmentally centred existence.
