LivingHouse Sustainability Concept
The highly commended project “Living-House Sustainability Concept” was presented by Nils Havelka and Nicolas Zimmermann of the ETH Zurich. The two architecture students designed a flexible building, the core of which can be adapted to suit the changing needs of the residents.
The core is enclosed within an envelope of plastic canisters. The canisters are filled with algae and are used for air purification, drinking water treatment and energy recovery.
