Simrishamn - Regional Algae Farm - 30 Jan 2012

ecoLogicStudio has been completing phase1 of Simrishamn Regional Algae Farm for the Osterlen region on the Swedish Baltic Sea. The project has been commissioned by the Simrishamn Municipality and it is currently exhibited to the public in the local Marine Centrum. The "hanging algae garden", conceived as an interactive public space of cultivation, is set in-between the labs of the marine centre, the local office of tourisms and overlooking the old port.

The exhibition features three main components:
1. The actual algae garden, featuring the 7 most common algae species in the region, organised and articulated by colour and gradients of intensity. Visitors can cultivate the algae by blowing CO2 in the photo-bioreactor bags, and can observe the diverse colours as well as the different ecologies of micro or macro algae with magnifying lenses and interact via LED responsive memory system.
2. The regional co-action plan is presented via a map on the floor below the garden as well as a Touristic Map of the region.
3. The opening was followed by a symposium discussing the various algae related activities already present in the region and due to be integrated in the masterplan. The event was accompanied by an algae based gourmet lunch based on algal varieties present in the garden.
