The objective of the “Filtration” skyscraper is to clean\nseawater while recycling the plastic and debris found in the infamous\n“Great Pacific Garbage”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project received an honorable mention in the famous Evolo\n2019 competition to reward the design of skyscrapers by young architects.\n“Filtration” was designed by architect Honglin Li to provide\nsolutions to the global environmental and energy crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to clean our oceans while providing a source of green\nenergy, the young architect has incorporated into his project several material\nrecovery facilities and especially a water treatment plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These mechanisms allow the plant to be self-sufficient in energy\nwhile continuing to recycle surrounding floating waste, which is commonly found\nin the North Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike a conventional material recovery facility whose operation\nrelies mainly on gravity and the use of multiple conveyors to extract waste,\nsort it and redistribute it according to its content, “Filtration”\nuses seawater to pump the waste and polluted water to the top of the building,\nthen filters the water and recycles it. Ultimately, non-recycled materials and\nrecycled materials would be transported by tidal energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technique proposed by Honglin Li, the project architect,\noffers a sustainable response to the problem of ocean pollution. Imagine these\nstructures deployed around the globe? This sorting and filtration system would\nprovide a regenerative solution for floating waste that could thus have another\nlife. It would also reconcile nature and the\nhuman being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
