ecoLogicStudio's Bio-Digital Curtain Fights Climate Change by Filtering Air and Creating Bioplastic
London-based architectural and urban design firm ecoLogicStudio has unveiled a large-scale ?urban curtain? designed to fight climate change. ?Photo.Synth.Etica? was developed in collaboration with Climate-KIC, the most prominent climate innovation initiative from the European Union, to ?accelerate solutions to global climate change.?

London-based architectural and urban design firm ecoLogicStudio has unveiled a large-scale ?urban curtain? designed to fight climate change. ?Photo.Synth.Etica? was developed in collaboration with Climate-KIC, the most prominent climate innovation initiative from the European Union, to ?accelerate solutions to global climate change.?Photo.Synth.Etica, currently on display at the Printworks Building in Ireland?s Dublin Castle, captures and stores one kilogram of CO2 per day, the equivalent to that of 20 large trees.

The prototype is composed of 16 modules measuring 2 x 7 meters, covering the first and second floor of the historic building, recently featured in our architectural guide to Dublin. Each module functions as a photobioreactor: ?a digitally designed and custom-made bioplastic container that utilizes daylight to feed the living micro-algal cultures and releases luminescent shades at night.?

The filtration process involved urban air introduced to the bottom of the façade, causing air bubbles to rise through the watery medium within the bioplastic. CO2 and other polluta...
