SynthEco Habitats in Manchester
In an environment where air quality is compromised, how can public awareness be effectively raised to encourage household recycling, considering the significant role of individuals in rectifying air pollution? Furthermore, what architectural interventions can be designed to draw attention to and enhance consciousness about household recycling practices? Given the underexplored potential of green microalgae as an air purification method, what architectural strategies can be employed to contribute to the research and promotion of this eco-friendly solution? How can architectural design facilitate establishing a research centre that harnesses green microalgae's air purification capabilities?
This project focuses on raising public awareness about recycling and carbon emissions. Central to this initiative is a Visitor Centre near the industrial area, serving as an educational platform on the importance of recycling in reducing carbon emissions. Through engaging exhibits, the Centre will educate visitors on the environmental impact of materials and the benefits of recycling, showing how sustainable practices can reduce air pollution.
Additionally, the proposal is a Green Algae Research Centre next to the Visitor Centre. Initially aimed at air purification, this facility will highlight the role of green microalgae in combating air pollution, emphasizing sustainable solutions. Together, the Visitor Centre and Algae Research Centre aim to educate and inspire individuals to adopt eco-friendly practices, addressing air pollution's root causes and promoting a healthier, more sustainable future.
