S P E C I E SThe cr i te r ia by which we choose my species was based on the idea o f a f lowing and repet i t i ve nature which mapped out the idea o f growth . The four se lected o f fspr ing o f the species are both innovat ive and unique in des ign . Not on ly do they emulate the idea o f a repet i t i ve growing form, they are capt ivat ing des igns that in t r igue the users o f the s i te .

The reason we saw the fo l lowing species as successfu l was due to the fact that they represented a v ibrat ional form that seemed to capture the essence of B iomimicry .

In order to sat is fy the LAGI br ie f , as a group we seeked to create an ins ta l la t ion that was re levant to the s i te . In order to create someth ing that was re levant we conducted ex tens ive research on Copenhagen ’s people , c l imate , cur rent environmental issues as wel l as some design and energy precedents for inspirat ion.

Piezoelect r ic i ty has the ab i l i t y to create e lect r ica l potent ia l when responding to mechanica l changes . When the mater ia l compresses or expands (changes form) , vo l tage is output .

The types o f c rys ta ls used for p iezoelect r ic i ty are chemical ly iner t , making them very cheap, s t rong and durable . For our des ign we have chosen to generate a renewable energy by captur ing nor th-wester ly and south-wester ly wind forces which are then sent to the main gr id . The p iezoelect r ic mater ia l wi l l be ins ta l led ver t ica l ly for the wind forces .

Dur ing winter Copenhagen exper iences heavy ra in fa l l o f ten leading to mi ld f looding which is why the down pour wi l l be u t i l i sed to s t imulate mechanica l forces in turn harvest ing energy v ia p iezoelect r ic i ty . The p iezoelect r ic mater ia l p ick ing up ra in forces wi l l be on a hor izonta l p lane .

Along wi th p iezoelect r ic i ty u t i l i s ing wind and ra in forces to create energy , we are a lso p lanning on combin ing so lar funt ional i t ies to u t i l i se the suns ra ise and send energy to the main gr id .

Copenhagen exper iences a s tark cont rast in weather condi t ions f looding dur ing winter and drought in summer , dest roy ing a lo t o f the green spaces d is t r ibuted throughout Denmark ’s capi ta l .
