And this is why we do tiles this semester!
Algae and hydrogel coated tiles to clean water.
Great project by the Barlett School of Architecture as an example of bio-based design's collection of possibilities.
"The tiles are made of clay and are inspired by the architecture of a leaf. Water flows over a series of vein-like channels containing algae prepared in a seaweed-based hydrogel.
Microalgae have several mechanisms through which they are able to remove heavy metal contaminants from their environment. While they can absorb heavy metals in low concentrations, when there is severe pollution, the algae start to detoxify their environment by transforming and storing the metals as nanoparticles.
The hydrogel is made from a seaweed derived polymer, which also has the affinity to capture heavy metals."
"Pollutants such as cadmium are sequestered by the algae and the hydrogel can then be processed to recover heavy metals safely.
The project meets the need for a simple, scalable and a sustainable system that can treat heavy metal contaminated wastewater on a local level."

check out SO.AR – SOFT ARCHITECTURE
by Aysel Abasova Deepak Sundaram Sri Sai Tarun, IAAC > Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, 2019
Soar is a material system that looks for an alternative to rigidity. It is derived from soft robots that are generally actuated with pneumatics or liquids. SoAr works with a liquid that evaporates at low temperatures, and an elastic polymer that traps this liquid in the form of bubbles. In this research, these materials are alcohol and silicon. The ingredients of this system allow it to respond to the heat of the sun thus making it passive.
It doesn’t need any additional energy and it is never constant. The wind, the angle of the sun and the moisture all play a role in how the actuators will react so it is safe to say that no two actuators will behave identically, giving it the illusion of being alive. This research concentrates on how these softbots could be controlled, what properties they possess and what could be their future use.
