“我们希望通过Otrivin实验室，使城市居民能够建立自然循环经济。在实验室，我们收集二氧化碳、净化被污染的城市空气、3D打印无塑料的生物降解产品。说到底，我们将空气污染转化为产品，保卫我们呼吸新鲜空气！”——Claudia Pasquero和Marco Poletto，ecoLogicStudio联合创始人。

“With the Otrivin Air Lab, we want to enable urban dwellers to design new nature based circular economies. At the lab we harvest carbon dioxide, purify polluted urban air and 3d print plastic free biodegradable products. Essentially, we convert air pollution into products that help protect our breathing!”— affirm Claudia Pasquero and Marco Poletto, co-founders of ecoLogicStudio.

ecoLogicStudio是一家专门从事建筑环境生物技术的建筑与设计创新公司，该项目是ecoLogicStudio与Otrivin合作构想的生活展厅和生物设计工坊——Otrivin空气实验室，于2022年6月15日至9月17日在英国伦敦的建筑中心向公众开放。

Otrivin空气实验室使参观者参与生物可降解聚合物的开发，这些聚合物是由活体光合微藻驱动的空气净化过程的副产品制成的。ecoLogicStudio由建筑师和研究员Claudia Pasquero、Marco Poletto创立，因其项目集成系统思维、计算设计、生物技术和数字原型，而享誉国际。这种从微观尺度向城市尺度“拓宽”的设计方法，尽体现在Otrivin空气实验室中，在这里，实践操作构成了公共领域的开放实验室。目前，ecoLogicStudio和“Otrivin呼吸新鲜空气行动计划”正在试验基于自然的创新解决方案，以减轻城市空气污染对呼吸健康的影响。在此之前，相关项目还包括位于华沙的AirBubble游乐场——于第26届联合国气候变化会议期间首次亮相的

ecoLogicStudio, architecture and design innovation firm specialised in biotechnology for the built environment, presents the Otrivin Air Lab, a living showroom and bio-design workshop conceived in collaboration with Otrivin which is open to the public at the Building Centre in London (UK) from June 15th to September 17th, 2022.

The Otrivin Air Lab engages its visitors in the development of biodegradable polymers made with the by-product of the air purification process powered by living photosynthetic microalgae. Founded by architects and researchers Claudia Pasquero and Marco Poletto, ecoLogicStudio has built an international reputation for its projects integrating systemic thinking, computational design, biotechnology and digital prototyping. This “broadened” approach to design, ranging from the micro to the urban scales, is embodied into the Otrivin Air Lab, where the experimental practice becomes an open laboratory in the public realm. ecoLogicStudio and the Otrivin Actions to Breathe Cleaner initiative are currently experimenting with innovative nature-based solutions to mitigate the impact of urban air pollution on breathing health. Previous projects have seen the design of the AirBubble playground in Warsaw and that of an inflatable

通过应用ecoLogicStudio首创的光合作用技术，Otrivin空气实验室测试了建立循环生产工作流的可能性，使二氧化碳和城市空气污染经过代谢，变成新鲜生物质。在这里，参观者能够收获微藻，而这种物质可以转化为藻类生物塑料和生物纤维，然后经过3D打印，最终变成生物降解产品。

Through the application of the PhotoSynthetica technology, pioneered by ecoLogicStudio, the Otrivin Air Lab tests the feasibility to build a circular production workflow, where carbon dioxide (CO2) and urban air pollution are re-metabolized into fresh biomass. At the Otrivin Air Lab, visitors will be able to harvest microalgae that will then be transformed into algae-based bioplastic, biofilament for 3D printing and finally into new biodegradable products.

实验室由轻质量、可拆卸的木结构围合而成，该结构容纳了空气净化和生物质转过过程不同阶段所涉及的所有系统。主要的光和作用墙装有12个光生物反应器，它们都是一米高的定制实验室级别玻璃容器，每个容器都装有10升的活体光和微藻。微藻种类包括螺旋藻、小球藻、紫球藻和氰化物藻，这四种菌株因其多用性和美观性而被选中。据悉，该墙每天将吸收240克二氧化碳、释放180克氧气、产生84克生物量。

The laboratory is enclosed by a lightweight and reversible timber structure that hosts all the systems involved in the different phases of the air-purification and biomass transformation process. The main photosynthetic wall houses 12 photobioreactors. These are one metre tall bespoke lab grade glass vessels, each filled with 10 litres of living photosynthetic microalgae. Four strains have been selected for their versatility and beauty: Spirulina, Chlorella, Porphyridium and Cyanidium. The wall will adsorb 240g of CO2 and release 180g of Oxygen producing 84g of biomass daily.

ecoLogicStudio的生物设计师将源于日常收获的具有各种特性的材料样本制成目录，放置于Otrivin空气实验室。他们将测试从生物塑料、生物橡胶到3D打印藻丝的各种藻类菌株，制成美丽的色彩渐变目录。这些精美的藻丝将应用于实时3D打印，被制成生产碳中和的产品。

In the Otrivin Air Lab, ecoLogicStudio’s bio-designers will craft a catalogue of material samples with various properties derived directly from the daily harvest. From bioplastics and bio-rubbers, to 3d printing algae filaments, they will be testing various algae strains resulting in a catalogue of beautiful colour gradients. These crafted filaments will be employed in a live 3d printing process to produce carbon neutral products.

独特的Fibonacci NetiPot引入了一系列新的产品机会，更新了后疫情时代鼻腔清洁和呼吸健康的历史演变。其目标是通过将一种愉悦的美感、审美和触觉刺激的体验带入日常的自我保健生活方式中，从而提高人们对空气质量对呼吸系统健康的影响的认识。每生产一个NetiPot鼻腔清洗器，空气中就会有15克二氧化碳消失，这样一来，我们在照顾自己的同时，也能够保护我们所处的环境。NetiPot为产品、展示和包装的发展带来了新的机遇，Otrivin空气实验室开创性的生物数字制造工艺旨在消除废弃物的产生，优化材料使用及性能，提高自然生物降解性，并实现碳中性工业的可扩展性。

In particular, the unique Fibonacci NetiPot introduces a new line of product opportunities that updates the historical evolution of nasal cleansing and respiratory wellness for the post-pandemic age. The ambition is to raise awareness about the impact of air quality on our respiratory health, by bringing a pleasurable experience of beauty, aesthetic and haptic stimulation into everyday lifestyles of self-care. With each NetiPot produced 15g of carbon dioxide are removed from the air, so that by taking care of ourselves we can also take care of the environment we are part of. The NetiPot embodies a new sphere of opportunity for the evolution of products, shelf displays and packaging. The Otrivin Air Lab pioneering bio-digital fabrication process aims to eliminate the production of waste, to optimise material use and performance, to improve natural biodegradability and to achieve carbon neutral industrial scalability.

ecoLogicStudio和Otrivin是合作伙伴，他们相信，在缓解糟糕的空气质量对我们呼吸健康的影响方面，任何行动都不算太渺小，而实验是发现创新想法的关键部分，它可以激发思考，并成为可持续性制造未来的模板。

ecoLogicStudio & Otrivin are partners in the belief that no action is too small when it comes to mitigating the impact of poor air quality on our breathing health, and that experimentation is a key part of the journey towards uncovering innovative ideas that can inspire thought and be a template for a sustainable manufacturing future.
