Bioreactor: an engineered device which supports a biologically active environment Photobioreactor: incorporates some kind of light source to provide photonic energy input into the reactor

DESIGN GOAL # 1 Architectural Scale *Volumetric, occupiable space

DESIGN GOAL # 2 Metabolic *Living system that thrives of "waste" of building industry * Digests CO2 emissions, stormwater *Provides nutrients for the building *Oxygen and energy

DESIGN GOAL # 3 Adaptive *Can be used as rooftop canopy or in light well as chandelier *Accommodates passive (solar) and active (LED) approaches

DESIGN GOAL # 4 Didactic *Environmental impacts of building industry *Architecture reconceived as a therapeutic technology *Chemically active gradients which alter microclimates *Can buildings become a part of the biosphere? *Can biological systems fulfill architectural functions?
