JAKE SHAPIRO : intangible problem

I have always been interested in the idea of incorporating technology with nature. Technology, to me is a result of our seperation from nature. I think a lot of solutions lie in the blending of the line between the two.






Intangible problem: Clean water. It's expensive it takes a lot of process and it gives off carbon emissions. Only a small percent of our water is drinkable and we have managed to contaminate a great deal of it.

Tangible solution: The Living Machine. This "machine" mimics natures very own Britta Filter. Wetlands do the same thing our huge inefficient water treatment plants do, only a lot better. By harnessing elements from nature and incorporating them into our own systems we can efficiently and safely clean waste water.
