AlgoScreen | La Fabrique du Vivant | Centre Pompidou | PARIS

Description: AlgoScreen is a mobile biofaçade sample, consisting of two vertical flat-plate photobioreactors.

Objective: The AgloScreen Project has a dual purpose : it is both a demonstrator of the biofacade concept, and an experimental tool for the cultivation of microalgae

Situation: AlgoScreen has been exhibited at the famous Centre Pompidou as well as at the LVMH Foundation in Paris, and at the "Institut de Formation Sectoriel du Bâtiment" in Luxembourg. During this time, it has produced significant amounts of museum-grown Spirulina, a cyanobacteria species that is commonly used as a dietary supplement, because of its high nutrient content.

Partners: Viry (fabrication) ; AlgoSource Technlogies (operating principle) ; Annick Méjean - Université Paris Diderot (laboratory support)

Team: project directors: Anouk Legendre, Nicolas Desmazières
