The MECC
Lebendige Fassade zur lokalen Methanreduzierung
The MECC ist ein modulares, bio-integriertes Fassadenpaneel, das für emissionsstarke Gebiete wie Deponien und Gaswerke entwickelt wurde. Es nutzt lebende methanotrophe Mikroben in seinem Inneren, um Methan und andere Schadstoffe aktiv zu oxidieren und so die lokale Luftqualität zu verbessern. Das selbstüberwachende Paneel besteht aus biobasierten Materialien (Holzfaser-PLA und aus Carrageen gewonnenes Hydrogel), verwendet Echtzeitsensoren zur Aufrechterhaltung der mikrobiellen Gesundheit und trägt regenerativ zur Umweltsanierung bei.

My name is Emily Salvi and I am a current student of UCL Bartlett School of Architecture’s MArch in Bio-Integrated Design. I believe architecture should be representative of the surrounding.context(s) that it is built for, meaning my designs are ecologically inclusive, multi-faceted and community based. I present my work with confidence and careful illustration to communicate a better future for both the built environment and the planet.

Emily Salvi
Emily is a current student at UCL’s Bio-Integrated Design Masters program as part of the Bartlett School of Architecture. She combines an appreciation for biology with computational analysis and technical design to enhance bio-engineering for architecture in order to solve problems on both human and environmental scales. She believes architecture represents the state of the society it is built for, meaning she prioritizes design that is inclusive to multiple scales of life, hence; multi-faceted, and ecologically- community-based.
