The MECC
Fachada viva para la reducción localizada de metano
El MECC es un panel de fachada modular biointegrado diseñado para zonas de altas emisiones, como vertederos y fábricas de gas. Utiliza microbios metanotróficos vivos dentro de su estructura para oxidar activamente el metano y otros contaminantes, mejorando la calidad del aire local. Fabricado con materiales de origen biológico (PLA de fibra de madera e hidrogel de carragenina), el panel autocontrolado utiliza sensores en tiempo real para mantener la salud microbiana y funciona de forma regenerativa para reparar el medio ambiente.

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.
