Sponge facade-original idea



SPONGES rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food and oxygen and to remove wastes, and the shapes of their bodies are adapted to maximize the efficiency of the water flow.

SPONGE is a gravity fed system, absorbed condensation-water from indoor air moves down the facade of the building via a series of ‘pores‘.

Second application: In background it is possible to make it safe for human consumption, the filtered water is collected and stored in an internal reservoir for disinfection.
