Having been inspired by various findings from the Scottish Bioenergy and the photobioreactor device by David Cardello from ASU, Charles Lee has come out with a BIOS-FIN (functionally integrated nutrafilters) concept in which he has incorporated the photobioreactor mechanism in the form of light blades in vertical position that would form the facade of a building.
The system would not only absorb CO2 that is produced inside the building but would also treat the graywater waste through biofiltration. The color of the blades would change according to the changes in CO2 absorption, light filtration, graywater purification, leading to the creation of a multicolored rainbow-like pattern on the building facade. Lee got this idea while observing the salt flats in the bay change color because of changes in bacteria and algae at different salinity levels.
It would be a great asset for any building to have a facade that can sustain the building naturally by generating solar energy, treating waste water, blocking direct sunlight, and providing a beautiful and colorful outer structure, a very “green” concept.
