We propose a block as an initial construction and let it evolve possibly in different versions depending on its environment or latitude.
In order to make it as autonomous as possible, we think that the kit should integrate three main modules:
- A condensation module: It captures and conserves water in a semi-closed circuit, minimizing your loss to the maximum.
- A composting module. The composting module is located around the condensation module and inside the production area; This arrangement provides a temperature that supports benefits to water circulation and plant growth.
- A production area. The complete outer perimeter is formed by the production area, which benefits from the heat released by the composting process, which moderates it in the cold hours of the night in some latitudes and is protected from excess sunlight during the day by means of a or various adjustable screens. The lower balconies are extensively designed for growing tubers
The kit is supplied with water in four ways. It can condense water from the air, minimally from the subsoil, it can collect water from the rain if this happens and obviously also from irrigation. Continuous condensation supplies the production area. The excess water from the balcony irrigation returns to the internal tank of the condensation module.
The kit also has other elements that make it possible to operate.
And this is our current proposal, a prototype called
Adelino Barcelona.
