Detroit was once a major player in the advancement of auto related technology. Looking into the future, the project aims to put Detroit back at the top of the automotive innovations list. The process of converting algae into bio-fuel is placed in the foreground and serves as a spring board for the city and it’s economy. Turning algae into bio-fuel is both fast, harvesting within 2 days, and uses simple ingredients; water, sunlight, CO2, and algae. The system which is made up of tracks that carry algae filled tubes, populates the inside of the Globe Trading Company Building. The project is able to reuse many materials in the process, including the structure of the building and the water pulled in from the river to help breathe life back into the city of Detroit. The algae serves to supplement the industrialized nature of the city by introducing a purely natural element to an otherwise harsh landscape.
