Design Proposal

Purpose Statement
Through the integration of an ETFE cushion façade system and a microalgae photobioreactor, microalgae can simultaneously serve as a dynamic shading device as well as a sequestrator of carbon.
Research Question:
Can the inner foil of a tri-layer ETFE pillow be reinforced to substantially reduce deflection through the addition of plastic tensile members?
