About Photosynthetic City Uhlelo Lwamandla Elanga Nesibungu Sokhula
I-Photosynthetic City iwuhlelo oluhlanganisiwe lwamandla elanga nesibungu sokhula (biomass) oluklanywe izakhiwo zedolobha ezikhona. Amaphaneli elanga asezinsikeni zensimbi afakwa ophahleni, kanti amamojula okutshala enziwe ngeplastiki evuselelwe ngendlela ye-injection molding asibekela ubuso besakhiwo. Amamojula okutshala anemigodi emincane eholela amanzi emvula amaningi ngezansi, ukuze zonke izitshalo zithole amanzi kanye nezakhi zomzimba. Imfucumfucu yezitshalo iyaqoqwa bese ishiswa kumshini wesitimu ohlanganisa ukushisa namandla kagesi (combined heat and power steam turbine) ukukhiqiza ugesi. Izitshalo futhi zigcina ikhabhoni, zihlanze umoya futhi zinciphise umsindo, okunciphisa isidingo samandla avamile.
About the Umklomelo Wensimbi we-A' Design Award
Photosynthetic City Uhlelo Lwamandla Elanga Nesibungu Sokhula iwinile uMklomelo Wensimbi we-A' Design Award, ukwaziswa okuhloniphekile okunikezwa imiklamo emihle ehlangabezana nezidingo zobungcweti nezemboni ezilindelekile ezimpahleni ezihlelwe kahle. Abawinile beNsimbi babonisa ikhono elikhulu, ubungcweti obuphezulu, ukuqonda kochwepheshe namandla okudala abadali babo. Photosynthetic City Uhlelo Lwamandla Elanga Nesibungu Sokhula ilindeleke ukuba ibe yinto exatshwa kakhulu, edunyiswayo nethandwayo esebenzayo nenezinto ezintsha. Lo mklamo owinile uMklomelo Wensimbi we-A' Design Award uhlanganisa izindlela ezinhle kakhulu zemboni futhi unezimfanelo zobuchwepheshe ezifanelekile ezihlanganiswe nolwazi nethalente. Photosynthetic City Uhlelo Lwamandla Elanga Nesibungu Sokhula iyahlonishwa ngenxa yokucophelela kwayo futhi ihlelelwe ukulethela izinguquko zomgangatho wempilo ezisiza ukwenza umhlaba ube yindawo engcono.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The project provides a new type of energy structure for the future, that is, the combined energy of solar energy and biomass. It is implanted into the city by means of building transformation, reducing the use of traditional energy and relieving the pressure on the environment brought by energy. It is worth mentioning that the planting part can not only sequester carbon, but also purify the air and reduce noise, which can create a good community environment.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Small solar installation:Width 1810mm x Depth 1640mm x Height 1224mm
Big solar installation:Width 14000mm x Depth 10000mm x Height 4400mm
Planting Module:Width 1000mm x Depth 460mm x Height 900mm - Tags
- Clean Energy, Green Plant, Modularization, System, Environment
- Production Technology
- The solar power generation device involves steel frames and solar panels, and the planting part of the building is made of recycled plastic injection molding。
- Design Challenge
- How to combine the whole system with the original building and minimize the cost of plant maintenance is a huge challenge for this project. The most distinctive feature of the photosynthetic city is the planting module, which has holes on its surface, and its unique shape can drain excess water along the surface and collect it downwards, so that all plants can obtain nutrients.
- Research
- Conduct research on the current energy structure and try to replace it with clean energy. The energy source of the photosynthetic city is the sun, and the plants are irrigated by rainwater. When the plants grow, they absorb carbon dioxide and purify the air. When they decay, they are burned to generate electricity and remove trace amounts of waste gas. During the whole process, the external energy source of the system is only light energy, and the only waste produced is carbon dioxide that was originally absorbed.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the energy structure of Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. Singapore's Gardens by the Bay is clever enough to keep its energy consumption at the same level as a large shopping mall through solar and biomass energy. It is interesting to place such energy structures in cities.
- Project Duration
- The project started in November 2022 and finished in February 2023 in Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts.
- Operation Flow
- The solar power generation module and the plant planting module are installed on the surface of the building, and the plant waste is collected and sent to the CHP steam turbine power generation device to be converted into electrical energy. The solar energy will power the building together with the plant waste.
