< Previous130 LA S T W O RD CLAUDIA PASQUERO AND MARCO POLET TO , the husband-and-wife team at the helm of architecture and research fi rm ecoLogicStudio, have developed a Spirulina home harvesting kit, which provides a sustainable source of vegetable proteins and has myriad benefi ts besides. The BioBombola absorbs the equivalent of two young trees in CO2 while the gentle bubbling from its photobioreactor (fi lled with 15 litres of blue-green algae) produces the same amount of oxygen as seven indoor plants. It also helps to create a daily interaction with nature which many urbanites lack. “Our kids love harvesting Spirulina and we make bread with it every week,” says Pasquero, who also boldly claims that the BioBombola kit could help prevent a future pandemic: “If we collectively transform air pollutants into nutritious aliments there will be fewer opportunities for viruses to exploit unsustainable food chains and for polluted atmospheres to reach us.” ecologicstudio.com Harvest for the Home AD_033_130_Last word_11310412.indd 13024/06/2020 10:58:09 PMRubelli Studio Dubai rubellistudio.com Sahco_Ad_AD_ME.indd 119/05/2020 15:08The Art Gallery at New York University Abu Dhabi nyuad-artgallery.org | @nyuadartgallery The NYU Abu Dhabi Art Gallery presents: TRACE: Archives and Reunions a series of live events online 20142015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 EXPLORE THE ONLINE ARCHIVESNext >
