| DESIGN NAME: Bionic Photosynthetic PRIMARY FUNCTION: Curtain INSPIRATION: If the idea and S.A.P.S. system integrate the characteristics of plants into the building construction materials, the system will imitate the roots, stems, and leaves; giving water, transporting to the leaves, and operating photosynthesis. Then the buildings with S.A.P.S. will be like the leaves of a tree, day and night to operating photosynthesis, continuously reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In this artificial photosynthesis system, the system bionics the roots, stems, veins, and leaf tissue of plants. In the bionics of the stems and leaves, the design use the function of 3D printing. To print out the veins of the water in the frame of the curtain wall, which includes the water needed before photosynthesis, and post-photosynthesis liquid sending away. There are three layers of tissue in the frame, the upper cover (tempered glass), the cell frame(middle frame), the lower plate. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: In the bionics of the stems and leaves, the design use the function of 3D printing. The design print the veins of the water in the frame of the curtain wall, which includes the water needed before photosynthesis, and post-photosynthesis liquid sending away. The liquid waste (the design call it energy liquid containing glucose, which can be supplied with other biological nutrients or as a fuel). PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 2019 from Spring to summer in Taipei, Taiwan. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: In SAPS, the system bionic the roots, stems, veins, and leaf of plants by 3D printing, which includes the water needed before photosynthesis, and post-photosynthesis liquid sending away. The liquid waste containing glucose can be supplied with other biological nutrients or as a fuel. There are three layers of tissue in the frame, the tempered glass level, the cell frame, and the artificial cells in the middle. The cell contains package with the bio-membranes to contain chloroplasts and all tissues that need to run photosynthesis, also it transfers solar light and CO2 in and let the O2 release to the nature. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: H 150cm x W 150cm x D 6cm in triangle shape. TAGS: biomimicry, green, SAPS, material, architecture RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The carbon dioxide consumption unit is metrics per square centimeter, and the numerical unit is 7.21. The photosynthesis efficiency of using water, the high dissolved oxygen molecular water efficiency is The best. The efficiency of white spectrum is highest in nighttime spectrum selection. In this 24-hour photosynthesis process. It can absorb nearly a half metric ton of carbon dioxide a day, which is the amount absorbed by one half-hectare broad-leaved forest for one-day photosynthesis. This curtain wall can reduce the carbon footprint of the building. If it is sustainable, they will restore the earth's atmospheric system like a forest. CHALLENGE: Integration with building and finding the most proper plant to do experiment.

NAME: NTUST Green Pioneer PROFILE: The National Taiwan University of Science and Technology was founded on August 1, 1974, as the National Taiwan Institute of Technology (NTIT). It was the first higher education institution of its kind within our nation's technical and vocational education system. By extending this system to the highest level, this new school was intended to meet the need created by our rapid economic and industrial development for highly trained bachelor's degree-level engineers and managers. In 1979 and 1982, NTIT added master's and doctoral programs, respectively. On August 1, 1997, NTIT was upgraded to university status and changed its name to the "National Taiwan University of Science and Technology," also known as “Taiwan Tech.” At that time, the school reorganized itself into the five colleges. After thirty years of growth and evolution, currently, Taiwan Tech is comprised of six colleges, including engineering, electrical and computer engineering, management, design, liberal arts & social sciences and applied science. Taiwan Tech has five campuses: the main Taipei campus and branch campuses at Tu-Cheng, Keelung, Gong-Guan, and Chupei, with a combined total area of 29.44 hectares. The main campus, situated in a district of Taipei with convenient transportation and beautiful surroundings, covers an area of about 10 hectares. Current enrollment includes 5,605 undergraduates and 4,902 graduate students with 415 full-time faculties. Our vision is to build Taiwan Tech into an international applied research university producing high-tech and management personnel with the ability to compete on a global level, thus supporting the future growth of our nation and society. Our overall goals are to employ multifaceted excellence, innovative expertise, technology integration, and holistic education on the platforms of intelligent green building technology and creative design while recruiting internationally-renowned professors to help us achieve cutting-edge breakthroughs in all aspects of our teaching and research. This will inspire the development of the entire university, neighboring academic and research institutions, and local industry in the upgrading of our national ability to compete on a global stage. |
