来自伦敦的建筑和创意事务所ecoLogicStudio近期在波兰华沙的市中心创造了一个名为“AirBubble”（空气泡泡）的游乐场，也是世界上第一个整合了微藻空气净化生物技术的游乐场。

London-based architecture and innovation firm ecoLogicStudio has designed AirBubble for Otrivin Breathe Clean www.otrivin.pl/airbubble.html. The innovation brings to life the world’s first biotechnological playground to integrate air-purifying micro-algae.

世界卫生组织（WHO）的数据显示，空气污染是目前全球最大的健康威胁。之所以选择华沙作为项目的第一个启动地，是考虑到它是欧洲污染最严重的城市之一。

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is the biggest global health threat. Warsaw was selected as the first activation for this project as it is one of the most polluted cities in Europe.

“AirBubble”展示了一种新的建筑类型：圆柱形的木制结构被ETFE膜包裹，为52个玻璃材质的藻类反应器提供了保护，形成一个真正的城市藻类温室。空间中配备了绳索、脚踏水泵和弹力球，可以作为游乐场和户外教室使用。藻类花园系统产生的白色气泡噪音掩盖了城市的喧扰，营造出一个可供游戏与互动的平静场所。

AirBubble invents a new architectural typology. It incorporates a cylindrical timber structure wrapped in an ETFE membrane protecting 52 glass algae reactors. This creates a real urban algae greenhouse. The space is equipped with ropes, foot pumps and bouncy spheres, and can function as both playground and outdoor classroom. The white bubbling noise of the algae gardening system masks the surrounding urban noise to provide a calming atmosphere in which to play and interact.

AirBubble中的52个玻璃藻类反应器中容纳着520升活着的小球藻培养物，每分钟可以过滤200升被污染的空气。在液体介质冲洗颗粒物的同时，小球藻会主动吃掉污染分子和二氧化碳，随后释放出新鲜又清洁的氧气。

The AirBubble hosts 52 large bioreactors in borosilicate glass which contain 520 litres of living green Chlorella sp algae cultures that can filter a flow of polluted air of 200 litres/minute. While the liquid medium washes particles, the algae actively eat the polluting molecules as well as carbon dioxide to then release fresh clean oxygen.

AirBubble的检测系统安装了城市空气污染传感器，并与一个数据处理平台相连接，能够实时地比较测量结果，并突出显示6种核心污染物的指数，包括细小颗粒物PM2.5和PM10、地面层臭氧、二氧化碳、二氧化硫和一氧化碳。AirBubble可以吸收空气中97%的氮气和75%的颗粒物。

The AirBubble monitoring system integrates urban air pollution sensors and is connected to a data processing platform capable of comparing measurements in real time and of highlighting the Air Quality Index for six core pollutants: fine particulate PM2.5 and PM10, ground level Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). AirBubble is capable of absorbing 97% of the nitrogen and 75% of the particulate matter in the air.

该净化过程主要从太阳能和儿童的活动中汲取能量：孩子们可以一边在地上的四个脚踏水泵、悬挂的绳索系统以及弹力球之间快乐玩耍，一边为空气净化系统提供动力。在接下来的几个月，AirBubble将成为一个独特的城市实验室，用于检测生物技术及其在缓解空气污染和改善儿童健康方面的影响。

The purifying process is powered by solar energy and children’s playfulness. Kids can interact by jumping on four water foot pumps positioned on the ground while balancing on the bouncy bubbles and the internal rope system. Over the next few months, AirBubble will become a unique urban laboratory, a test bed of applied biotechnology and its application in tackling air pollution and in mitigating its effect on children’s health.

该项目位于哥白尼科学中心（Centrum Nauki Kopernik）的公共绿地内，除了游乐场之外，这里还将举办一个专门的展览，用于说明“空气泡泡”发明背后的设计创新。该项目整合了Photo.Synthetica技术，可将光合作用巧妙地应用到建筑环境的营造当中。

AirBubble creates a purified microclimate for children to play in, a true bubble of clean air in the centre of Warsaw (Poland). The project is located within the public green space outside of the Copernicus Science Centre (Centrum Nauki Kopernik), a site which will also host a dedicated exhibition illustrating the design innovation behind the invention of AirBubble. The playground integrates the Photo.Synthetica technology for the advanced integration of photosynthesis in the built environment.
