EcoLogicStudio has designed the Otrivin AirLab.
Otrivin Airlab is an urban laboratory for converting air pollution into products that help protect our breathing.
This living showroom and bio-design workshop was open to the public at the Building Centre in London over a period of six months and engaged its visitors in the development of biodegradable polymers made with the by-product of the algae-powered air purification process.
"AirLab pioneers the co-creation of nature-based circular economies in the public realm," said EcoLogicStudio.
With its bubbling algae cultures and well-crafted 3D-printed products, AirLab inspires a new era of eco-friendly manufacturing processes that use waste and pollution as resources.
This project has been shortlisted in the installation design category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
