Bit.Bio.Bot exhibition shows how algae can be used as air purifiers and protein source
EcoLogicStudio has designed the Bit.Bio.Bot exhibition at the Venice Architecture Biennale, which invites visitors to taste freshly harvested algae and consider growing it in their own homes.
Combining architecture and microbiology, the exhibition shows how city dwellers could purify the air, sequester carbon, gain a sustainable food source and enjoy a greater connection to nature by cultivating their own algae.

London-based EcoLogicStudio, which has been working with the ancient microbes for 10 years, describes them as having a unique biological intelligence because their metabolism is so efficient.
