Twist Recycled Algae Facade
2011, Harvard GSD Research
Extrusion
Team: Alison, Dasha, Corey, Arseni
Our team investigated a new method to producing a dymanic facade using extrusion method in plastics. The goal was to explore recycled material, particularly plastics that could reformed. The proposl consisted of an Algae based energy producing facade. Because the algae needed to have even exposure to sunlight and shade, the twist was a natural solution. Units are self interlocking and could be aligned in strait, curve or even right angles. Project was part of a larger research Harvard GSD exploration on lifecycle in design. The team was even sent to Taiwan and explore current techniques in recylcing various materials. This product is Patent Pending.
