Project Description

ec-O concept bench infuses nature into pedestrian traffic zones by creating a self-sustaining eco-system that envelops sitters in living and growing plant-life. ec-O bench collects and filters rainwater and harnesses sunlight using thin-film photovoltaics, creating a welcoming resting spot even when it’s dark outside.

Design Concept

ec-O is a multifunctional green concept bench system which generates electricity through solar panels that are embedded into the top of the extended structure which hovers above the suggested seating area. These panels harness electricity during the day to illuminate the seating area at night. A built-in system collects and filters water that is used for healthy plant growth. As they grow the plants wind around the bench’s circular structure, creating a jungle-like canopy dangling above the user.

The continuity, twist and visual dynamism is generated through the unique properties of a [mobius strip] concept. Double [mobius strip] was used to transform and mutate.

Material Development

ec-O bench design is intended to be constructed of Bio-Aluminum and Bio-Glass. The Bio-Aluminum tiles are made from salvaged parts from retired airplanes and are an excellent long-lasting and high-strength material. Bio-Glass is engineered from recycled glass with no additives or colorants. Both materials will contribute towards LEED certification.

项目描述

ec-O椅子力求创建一个拥有自我维持能力的生态系统，里面生长着蓬勃的植物。ec-O椅子还能收集和过滤雨水，并利用太阳能光伏薄膜电池发电。即便是在黑暗之中，也是一个温馨的休憩处。

设计理念

ec-O椅子是一台具有绿色理念的多功能环保系统，休息区内的太阳能发电板在白天收集能量以供夜晚使用。系统收集雨水提供给其中的植物以确保植物健康生长。植物沿着椅子上端圆形结构生长，为用户提供了一个宛如丛林的天蓬。
受莫比乌斯圈的连续，扭曲，充满视觉魅力的启发，在此基础上创造了双莫比乌斯圈。

材料开发

ec-O椅子由Bio-Aluminum.和Bio-Glass制造。Bio-Aluminum源于废弃的飞机，是良好持久的高强度材料。Bio-Glass采用无添加剂和色素的回收玻璃制成。这两种材料有助于LEED认证。
