Jardins d'eau, Développement de jardins partagés | USER STUDIO. Ardavan Mirhosseini Portfolio. EcoCool is a system designed to filter and re-use the grey water produced in bathrooms. This water passes through two separate filters and can also be used to cool and moisturize the space. After the water makes its way through this system it is now clean enough to grow plants and vegetables. EcoCool consists of two filters; the first filter is hidden while the second filter is a series of wall tiles that are full of channels filled with sand and marble allowing water to pass through.
These wall tiles separate the water into small enough droplets that they can be vaporized into the air, cooling the air and the system in the process. In addition to cooling hot air, EcoCool moisturizes dry air through this process of vaporization. The maintenance of the plants and soil at the bottom of the tile system makes the consumer more aware of water consumption. This awareness forces the user to consider each time that they turn on the tap, resulting in lower water usage. 'Mini Hydro Turbine' by Jin Woo Han. Water Generates Free Personal Electricity You say you live in an apartment complex where you pay for your rent + electricity, and that’s it?
Check it out. You get yourself one of these bad boys, (or 2, or 3,) and hook them up to the water pipes, and bam! Your on the slick road to free home electricity. The Mini Hydro Turbine can be attached to the end of your faucet or between two pipes. The water runs through the device, activating the hydroelectronic turbine as it does so. Barring the inevitable need to replace the turbine on occasion, and of course, supposing this lovely device works like a charm: yes please!

Here’s a lovely simple system that makes use of the fact that toilet water never needs to be as clean as it usually is.
The “Eco Bath” concept uses 50% reused water and 50% new water for a toilet system half-ways to nature friendly. You simply must read this little poem written about this toilet system by it’s designer, Jang Woo-seok: Express the flow of water. Fresh, yes? Jang gets the idea for the Eco Bath from the naturally flowing waterways all around us. Designer: Jang Woo-seok. Water Re-use System by Luis Gama. Water Re-use System by Luis Gama The WRS basin was born to minimize the water scarcity problem that will be present to us in the near future.
The observation of our “daily little tasks” made me identify small mistakes that an individual does each time, every time, in a consistent basis and that can be changed, re-educated in our life, make things work right again. The main concept of the basin is to divide the water we use daily and to reuse it. For instance, as we wait for the water to heat up, we lose many liters of fresh, clean water to the sewer. Designer: Luis Gama. Ekokook Kitchen Concept by FALTAZI. Ultraponic Superstars In your kitchen, of all places! Who of you would love to use themselves an “Ekokook?” Don’t know what that is? I’ll tell you! Micro-plant 1) First, we’ve got the solid waste. Micro-plant 2) Water. Micro-plant 3) Organic waste. Designer: FALTAZI. Grey Water Toilet System by Alison Norcott. Toilet Water. Not Just for Plants Anymore. You need to know all about toilet water. Believe me.
When you grow up, you’ll have a toilet of your own, and then, you will want to know all about the water in it. And so will your dog and maybe hamster. Water waste! “Antibacterial surface coatings and a non porus nano-glaze aid cleaning and flushing.” The water is treated minimally with “low powered ultrasonic irradiation.” And hey, that toilet bowl looks like it would release some nasty odors into the air because it doesn’t have the bend in the drain neck like good toilets should! Due to the minimal treatment of the water, to adhere to health regulations, the toilet has been designed to eliminate user contact with the water during use. Now let’s make it easy to install (like the 4 screws and one hose toilet we all know, install, and love,) and we have a nice little thang goin on here. Best toilet post ever. Designer: Alison Norcott.
Microbial Home by Philips Design. The Microbial Home is viewed as a cyclical biological machine where wastes like sewage, effluent, garbage, wastewater are filtered, processed and recycled to be used as inputs for the various home functions. The project includes various aspects like a Bio Digester Island and Larder in the kitchen, Urban Beehive, Bio-light, Apothecary, Filtering Squatting Toilet and Paternoster Plastic Waste Up-cycler. Designer: Philips Design Bio Digester Island Central hub in the Microbial Home system.Consists of a methane digester, which converts bathroom waste solids and vegetable trimmings into methane gas that is used to power a series of functions in the home.The hub is designed as a repositionable kitchen island, including a chopping surface with vegetable waste grinder, a gas cooking range, a glass tank that shows energy reserves and glass elements showing pressure, volume and readiness of compost sludge.Materials used in the design are copper, cast iron, glass and bamboo.
Larder Urban Beehive. Muraille symbiotique. Conçu par Kooho Jung et Hayeon Kelly Choi le Mur symbiotique vert est un système de murs à double couche conceptuelle qui recueille, filtre et distribue l'eau de pluie et des eaux usées au sein du site de construction. L'eau est recueillie entre les deux couches, ce qui contribue également à absorber la chaleur et du bruit autour du site. L'eau recueillie est utilisée pour réduire la poussière de construction et de faire pousser du gazon dans les gousses spéciaux. Depuis l'herbe est cultivée sur le mur, le système agit également comme un système de purification d'air qui repose entièrement sur des processus naturels. Le mur fournit également un espace pour les oiseaux et réalise des indicateurs pour vérifier le niveau de bruit, les vibrations et la pollution de l'air autour du site de construction.
Avec les systèmes naturels, les murailles symbiotiques vertes visent à rendre les chantiers de construction propre et durable.
