AEE, THE AMAZON: BIOLOGICAL CONDITIONING IN MANAUS

"In the timespan of millions of years of natural selection, vascular plants have evolvedto function in ways unparalled by our own technologies. However, in contrast to conventional biomimicry, this project rather becomes an investigation that focused on capitalising on locally available resources; epiphytic “air plants” and nutrients in collected rainwater. The system has three parts; the ceramic water buffer that can be connected to local water sources or airconditioning run-off, the water retaining fabric, and the aluminium frame that can fold into a portable backpack. The notion that some plants would die, some compete and others bring unanticipated fungus and growth into the system, was considered a value that would eventually contribute to the ecosystem it could become. It would develop its own time, rhythm and biological composition, as a temporal ecology." JOHAN STEENBERG, 2015
