The project  Algaerithm is tackling the global problem of air pollution, more specifically the pollution of energy production caused by the fossil fuel power plants. In order to reduce the need for them the project aims to develop a new alternative energy production method using algae. This simple plant while photosynthesising creates an electrical charge that can be harvested and as the plant uses CO2 and releases O2 in order to photosynthesis, it is possibly the greenest energy production method. However, as at the moment the energy produced in this way is only very little, the method is not efficient enough to become an alternative source of electricity and, therefore, needs to be developed. 

​

The site for the project is an old characteristic brick building with a lighthouse attached to it, situating on the Trinity Buoy Wharf just by the river Thames opposite the O2 arena in London. The proposed design has two main floors, an lower ground floor that consists of interaction space for public and the main algae pool, and the ground floor, which is the main laboratory space used by scientists but also opened for public. Algae Jungle, tunnel to the river Thames, rooftop walkway, Algae to Electricity wall and entrance through the Lighthouse are just few of the elements of this unique and green center.
