Abstract

Construction biotechnology is an interdisciplinary field which through the combined use of biotechnology, architecture, civil engineering, materials, and environmental sciences, by using some special make great changes in the construction industry and provide solutions to complex environmental problems, such as air pollution, global warming, energy production, and oxygen production, amongst others. Algae are plant-like microorganisms with promising practical and industrial potentials in targeting environmental issues such as elevated greenhouse gases and depleting fossil fuel reserves. In this regard, this study aims to provide a detailed presentation of such potentials, while also for the first time, employing fa�§ade design software tools to evaluate the use of algae in a biologically cohesive aquarium (bioreactor) in the fa�§ade of the Agbar tower (Barcelona, Spain). Furthermore, biologic calculations and assessments of other similar projects have also been performed to determine the total produced energy, reduced CO2 emissions and increased oxygen production of the fa�§ade. Genetic mutations and theories such as electric shock and alteration of the cultivation mediums with the aim of improving metabolism, growth and reproduction, and efficiency have also been discussed to further justify their economic cost in construction fa�§ades have also been discussed.

Biography

Hamed Karamat is 28 years old and he completed his bachelor's degree in architecture from Urmia Azad University. Since entering the university, he participated in many student activities, such as collaborating in printing student publications, holding architectural exhibitions, pasta structure competitions, etc. Because of his artistic spirit, he was interested in nature, its sense of peace and the wonders it has; recording those unique moments led him to studying and teaching photography, making artistic and commercial clips, so that he can express his perceptions of the beauty of creation in his own language. The curious and exploratory look brought him closer to the conclusion that the key to human problems and the answer to his questions lies in friendship and respect for nature and its knowledge. Algae is one of these very useful options, which, in addition to the fact that today's human life is owed to it, it can also be very useful and effective in the future. He tried to help reduce global warming by reducing the level of Co2 through the integration of the growth environment of this microorganism in the facade of Agbar Tower in Barcelona/Spain, and continued the implementation of this solution to reduce air pollution in the city of London, in the municipal building of that city. He is also looking into providing green solutions to make the Spiral Tower as eco-friendly as possible before building it at 336 meters.
