1160. Kevin Le.
The Silo-de-Sac. Carbon Recycling Structure, Los Angeles.
Developed in the early 20th century, the cul-de-sac was used
to slow traffic within a community and the many cul-de-sacs near LAX Airport today remain vacant and unused. Silo-de-Sac houses autos, siphons CO2 to feed algae which creates biofuel on the exterior skin.

Process Zero: Retrofit Resolution. Federal Building, Los Angeles.
Goal is to design zero environmental footprint, energy self-sufficiency for existing building using Living Building Challenge 2.0 guidelines. A modular system of algae tubes wrap the building and absorb the sun’s radiation to produce lipids for fuel production and shade the interior office spaces.

11651165. Federico Curiél.
ALGAL&SCAPE: Study of polder Schieveen, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
A sustainable strategy for large scale micro-algae harvesting using the polders, reclaimed land enclosed by dykes. The Netherlands could benefit from this transformation of the polders, ensuring enough production of fuel for the Dutch needs and even more to be stored or exported.

Automated Bloom: Bio-Farming in the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana.
This self-replicating floating algae farm is composed of robotic bio-plastic photo-bioreactor tubes in hexagons. The project will oxygenate dead zones in the Gulf, utilizing the heavy loads of nitrogen and phosphorous and capturing CO2 emissions from plants in Texas and Louisiana.

11691169. Carly Martin.
Freeway Lungs: Darling Harbour, Sydney Australia.
Breathing life back into our cities. Freeway overpass will be encased in an algal membrane that absorbs pollution and reduces noise. Algae turns the polluted water from the harbour into hydrogen gas for fueling cars. Clean water is used under the freeway to farm edible algae nori and wakame.

1174. Sarah Hobstetter.
Site Siphon Biofuel Homes, Redwood City, San Francisco Bay
Pink and orange salt manufacturing ponds host halophilic (salt-loving) algae- the inspiration for Site Siphon, a housing development with a program of housing and bio-fuel production. Like a giant catamaran, housing pods siphon water from ponds to grow algae for bio-fuel.

1175. Tolga Hazan.
Project Bio-Slum, Jakarta, Indonesia.
Located in the wetland of WadukPluit in the Jakarta Penjaringan slums, Bio-Slum offers an alternative to palm oil for biodiesel. The project works in the urban landscape, avoiding deforestation, and fuses algae into daily activities, with an upper green layer shading residents below.

1176. Nathan Smith.
Algal Filter Machine, Los Angeles.
Targets the areas of greatest CO2 emission and employs energy-producing systems at varying scales to foster the growth of algal bio-fuel. 1) Recursive Car: growing gasoline. 2) Algae Power Plant: growing electricity. 3) Los Angeles River Stations: growing fuel for an entire city.
