Growing and eating spirulina microalgae

The project is aimed at developing a photobioreactor for cultivating microalgae – the superfood of the future. The designer wants to explore their potential in terms of small-scale production integrated with urban spaces.

The compact growth unit comes with a set of tools which are useful in both production and consumption. As part of the research and design process, the author analyses the methods of processing microalgae as well as their composition and utility.
