| DESIGN NAME: Islamic Distiller PRIMARY FUNCTION: Mosque with Solar Distiller System INSPIRATION: This design is based on my volunteer experience in Cairo, where I witnessed the pervasive deficiency in water supply and sanitation. The proposed system could be applied to any small mosque that can be found throughout Cairo, with an octagonal umbrella structure that echoes the local religious patterns. The design of the distillation system here also takes into account the habits of the local residents. At the same time, some of the mosque's original building materials can be be reused. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design uses an umbrella-shaped structure to distill the collected rainwater into potable water through solar energy. The structure could be widely replicated in Cairo and throughout the developing Islamic region to alleviate local water scarcity problems. Muslims pray five times a day, so mosques in neighborhoods like this are the most frequented public places for local residents. The design of the distillation system here also takes into account the habits of the local residents. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: - PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: - |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The upper surface of the umbrella structure is a thin membrane with a low center and a high periphery. Water from below evaporates and condenses onto the membrane through solar energy, and then converges to the lowest point in the center, where the collected distilled water is transported to the water tanks or water taps through pipes inside the columns below.
