Edith Hemmrich, Mark Blaschitz and Jan Wurm discuss the world s first
building equipped with an algae bioreactor facade in their publication
entitled The Algae House on the occasion of the 14th Venice
International Architecture Biennale in 2014. Together with three other
Smart Material Houses, the prototypical building by SPLITTERWERK and
Arup forms part of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) Hamburg.
Microalgae are cultivated in glass photobioreactors to generate energy
and, at the same time, to control light and shade. With its innovative
floor plan typologies Hamburg Apartment and Milan Apartment, the Case
Study House presents contemporary refinements of Frank Lloyd Wright s
open plan, Adolf Loos s Raumplan, and Margarete Schutte-Lihotzky s
Frankfurt Kitchen . The publication features recent essays as well as
detailed plans and visuals from the first hand-drawn sketches, floor
plans, cross-sections and details to a photo essay by the important
Austrian architectural photographer Paul Ott."
