I have found a collection of stories that have taken the 'green building' one step further. Instead of using plants, trees and the normal green energies; sun, wind ect. It uses algae.
These algae buildings do everything, from improve air quality to absorbing CO2 emissions and harvesting bio-methane for heat and power. Waste biomass is used to feed the buildings algae skin while waste water is filtered through the algae to be recycled.
Above is a proposed algae building for Central London designed by Dave Edwards. Dezeen has an article on the FSMA Tower here.
Here is a link to a selection of articles that Dezeen have put together with several buildings and other products that use the science of algae to produce a greener effect.
