Evaluation of BIQ algae-based energy generation methods

Building exhibition and commissioning

Architecture and design

Living microalgae organisms integrated into building panels that generate heat energy through photosynthesis and biological processes.

Enclosure systems built into the building that house and protect the microalgae while allowing them to generate energy.

Hamburg

The world's first algae-powered building, designed by Splitterwerk Architects and commissioned by the International Building Exhibition in Hamburg. The building is covered in bio-adaptive microalgae housed in bio-reactive louvers that generate electricity from heat energy.

The world's first algae-powered building, featuring bio-adaptive microalgae integrated into bio-reactive louvers that generate electricity from heat energy. The building is expected to serve as a demonstration and evaluation platform for algae-based sustainable building technology.
