Description:

“The 52 cubic wood buildingโ€“ produces carbohydrate (glucose) from carbon dioxide CO2 (which equates to 260.000km by car) with the help of the sun. Additionally oxygen is released in the form of breathable air for 100 years per person. This happens interference-free without waste and emissions, itโ€˜s quiet and fully automatic. This is the beauty of the factory called โ€žThe forestโ€œ.

This responsibillity was taken on by JOSEP in cooperation with Atelier Gerhard Haumer. A star shaped ground plot with a clear sight-axis underlines the project.
