BioFILTER: Dyes Adsorption Towards Better Water Quality and Sustainability

Category: Visual art, Time-based

“Garden of Light” is conceptually a state-of-the-art, high-tech architecture with minimal maintenance and off-grid, solar-powered mechanical equipment (a water pump) aquaponics structure. Aquaponics can be a promising approach to creating more resilient and accessible food systems in urban and suburban communities by bringing gardens closer to the community. Aquaponics, a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics, can provide nutritious and complete food in a recirculating environment.

The garden of light can be one of the simple solutions in combining art and science to make nutritious, delicious, and affordable food available to the community with low maintenance and solar-powered energy. It is the proposal suggested to merge the edible garden and hightech architecture with the interplay of lights and their effects.
