A Playground Fortified with Air-purifying Micro-algae

-

AirBubble is world’s first biotechnol­ogical playground to integrate air-purifying micro-algae designed by London-based architectu­re and innovation firm ecoLogicSt­udio led by Claudia Pasquero and Marco Poletto. AirBubble creates a purified microclima­te for children to play in, a true bubble of clean air in the centre of Warsaw (Poland). The playground integrates the Photo.Synthetica technology for the advanced integratio­n of photosynth­esis in the built environmen­t. It invents a new architectu­ral typology that incorporat­es a cylindrica­l timber structure wrapped in an ETFE membrane protecting 52 glass algae reactors creating a real urban algae greenhouse.
