The Design

About Bionic Photosynthetic Horma Kortina

Bionic Photosynthetic fotosintesi artifiziala burutzen duen horma-kortina bat da. Diseinuak landareen sustraiak, zurtoinak, hostazainak eta hosto-ehuna imitatzen ditu. Ura garraiatzen duten hostazainak markoaren barruan 3D inprimatuta daude. Kanal horiek fotosintesirako ura hornitzen dute eta ondoren sortutako likidoa kentzen dute. Markoak hiru geruza ditu: beira gogortuzko estalki bat, erdiko zelula-marko bat eta beheko plaka bat. Erdiko geruzako zelula artifizialek kloroplastoak gordetzen dituzte biomintzen barruan. Eguzki-argia eta karbono dioxidoa zeluletan sartzen dira, eta oxigenoa airera askatzen da.

The Recognition

About the Burdinazko Saria A' Design Award

Bionic Photosynthetic Horma Kortina Burdinazko Saria A' Design Award irabazlea da, ondo diseinatutako sorkuntzetatik espero diren eskakizun profesional eta industrialak betetzen dituzten diseinu onei ematen zaien aitorpen prestijiotsua. Burdin-mailako irabazleek beren sortzaileen trebetasun handia, espezializazio handia, adituen ulermena eta sormen-gaitasuna erakusten dituzte. Bionic Photosynthetic Horma Kortina oso estimatua, miretsia eta maitea den sorkuntza izatea espero da, praktikoa eta berritzailea dena. Burdinazko Saria A' Design Award irabazi duen diseinu honek sektoreko praktika onenak integratzen ditu eta know-how-ari eta talentuari lotutako ezaugarri tekniko gaituak ditu. Bionic Photosynthetic Horma Kortina zehaztasunagatik errespetatua den lana da, eta mundua leku hobea egiten laguntzen duten bizi-kalitatearen hobekuntzak eskaintzeko diseinatua dagoena.

Unique Properties
In this artificial photosynthesis system, the system bionics the roots, stems, veins, and leaf tissue of plants.

In the bionics of the stems and leaves, the design use the function of 3D printing. To print out the veins of the water in the frame of the curtain wall, which includes the water needed before photosynthesis, and post-photosynthesis liquid sending away. There are three layers of tissue in the frame, the upper cover (tempered glass), the cell frame(middle frame), the lower plate.
Dimensions & Packaging
H 150cm x W 150cm x D 6cm in triangle shape.

Production Technology
In SAPS, the system bionic the roots, stems, veins, and leaf of plants by 3D printing, which includes the water needed before photosynthesis, and post-photosynthesis liquid sending away. The liquid waste containing glucose can be supplied with other biological nutrients or as a fuel. There are three layers of tissue in the frame, the tempered glass level, the cell frame, and the artificial cells in the middle. The cell contains package with the bio-membranes to contain chloroplasts and all tissues that need to run photosynthesis, also it transfers solar light and CO2 in and let the O2 release to the nature.
Design Challenge
Integration with building and finding the most proper plant to do experiment.
Research
The carbon dioxide consumption unit is metrics per square centimeter, and the numerical unit is 7.21. The photosynthesis efficiency of using water, the high dissolved oxygen molecular water efficiency is The best. The efficiency of white spectrum is highest in nighttime spectrum selection. In this 24-hour photosynthesis process. It can absorb nearly a half metric ton of carbon dioxide a day, which is the amount absorbed by one half-hectare broad-leaved forest for one-day photosynthesis. This curtain wall can reduce the carbon footprint of the building. If it is sustainable, they will restore the earth's atmospheric system like a forest.
Inspiration
If the idea and S.A.P.S. system integrate the characteristics of plants into the building construction materials, the system will imitate the roots, stems, and leaves; giving water, transporting to the leaves, and operating photosynthesis. Then the buildings with S.A.P.S. will be like the leaves of a tree, day and night to operating photosynthesis, continuously reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Project Duration
2019 from Spring to summer in Taipei, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
In the bionics of the stems and leaves, the design use the function of 3D printing. The design print the veins of the water in the frame of the curtain wall, which includes the water needed before photosynthesis, and post-photosynthesis liquid sending away. The liquid waste (the design call it energy liquid containing glucose, which can be supplied with other biological nutrients or as a fuel).
