Demo of how algae facade is attached to building

Here I made a draft up video showing how the algae skin is attached to existing building exteriors


Office interior preview with algae facade

I created this 3d model and rendered it with my algae facade to see what it might look like if it is installed on an office building


Testing at the lab


Went to the lab to day, with the help of my friend Dr Nicolas Hao Ran we tested out my sample algae, first we used a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), the electrons interact with the atoms that make up the sample producing signals that contain information about the sample's surface topography, composition, and other properties such as electrical conductivity.
Then we tried to test out to create the water environment to cultivate the algae with extracts. 






With the help of Dr. Nicolas Ran, we went through all the procedures of testing samples, and he helped me to understand the method process. Now I understand the science behind it, I would like to move on to the designing part for the container of algae.
