"A window over an algae-powered Colliers Wood" by Matt Faraci 
  

This vision references the industrial arts-and-crafts heritage of Merton, London whilst contemplating future opportunities for sustainable energy. It echoes technological advancements made with several microorganisms, like fast-growing microalgae suitable for most types of water which can produce energy, light and heat by absorbing CO2. It is set in Colliers Wood, a suburban London neighbourhood recently densified with new developments in the middle of the extensive sprawl of period houses. By scaling up this symbiotic process, it redefines natural organisms as an active piece of city infrastructure and satisfies our thirst for renewable energy whilst mitigating threats to our ecosystem. This visual critique shows an inside/out approach where the colours utilised merge interior and exterior spaces and where urban opportunities rely on individual responsibilities, imagining a world where energy is produced on natural bodies of water (here the River Wandle, southwest London) as well as personal tanks in our homes.
