Algae Tower

In addition, two research experimental cases come from architecture studios showing the integration of microalgae in large-scale façade design. One is Algae Tower, a photobioreactor façade conceptualized by UOOU studio, located in Melbourne, Australia. The research focuses on biomass and energy production through several microorganisms with photobioreactor design. The façade elements are adjustable to the optimum sun angle for photosynthesis to maximize the biomass amount and effectiveness of the shading in summer
