Purpose/Problems addressed
- Urban agriculture on a household scale
- Grey water filtration, roof water run-off
- Passive air filtration
How does it work
- Integration of the structural lattice with greywater filtration system as well as irrigation system
- The structural lattice collects water from roof run-off or surface rain water
- Imagine the structural lattice as metal tubes with filtration soil inside, rain water flows through the tube interior and gets filtered and stored at underground cistern for reuse
- As water run through the structural lattice, water also flows through a permeable membrane thats attached to the plant pods, the reason why we separate the 2 soil compositions is because plant soil can not be used for filtration purposes (water will take away nuitrients in the soil)
- Plant pods can shift between exterior and interior
- exterior: controlled sun exposure
- interior: shelter from extreme weather, generate oxygen for interior, easy harvest
Componets/Funtions
- water collection
- roof run-off
- directly using plant pods
- through structural lattice
- structural lattice
- structrual wall
- grey water filtration
- contains plant pods
- permeable membrane between the structural lattice and plant pods
- allows passive irrigation
- controlled irrigation
- plant pods
- hosts plants/agriculture
- water collecting
- can be opened to both interior/exterior
- water cistern for clean water storage
Smart element
- moisture sensor
- sun/temperature sensor
- water directing/collecting mechanics
- irrigation control
- plant pocket folding mechanics
- structural lattice mechanics
