The architecture that will oxygenate itself.
We are definitely in a moment where technology is revolutionizing architecture, the way of seeing it, understanding it and designing it. As a prologue, let us recall the three articles that we have already published:
- Architecture with algae
- Graphene in architecture
- Algorithms, robots and design in architecture
But obviously this does not end here, every day new materials and concepts appear that dazzle even the most astute architect. In this case we want you to present a new revolution in ventilation systems.
A synthetic sheet that is capable of creating oxygen.
In short, the first synthetic leaf to photosynthesize itself. These artificial leaves, presented by graduate Julian Melchiorri of the Royal College of Arts in London, work on the basis of a silk protein made up of chloroplasts, extracted directly from plants.
These compounds, traditionally responsible for carrying out photosynthesis, are what allow this new invention to convert water, carbon dioxide and light into oxygen. A process that is also complemented by silk, which stabilizes organic molecules.
To see the process I think we better watch the video:
How will the synthetic sheet be applied in architecture or design?
According to its creator, this invention may be part of the architectural structures of buildings, both inside and outside. new ventilated façade systems that will revolutionize modern architecture. Ventilation systems that will allow the creation of more oxygen than can be consumed or could be used to cover city buildings and help create more oxygen than is consumed.
The applications can be multiple and as far as our imagination reaches us. Design of lamps that produce oxygen … etc.
In the absence of technical data, in short, we may be facing a new finding that may produce a revolution in current concepts of ventilation in buildings.
