Introductory Studio: Wind Energy Machines
The main aim for the wind machine is to start a production cycle of plants, which can be used in the daily life of Valldaura.
The wall is producing energy with windturbines. The energy is used for pumping water to the crops. The machine uses waste products from the house in the form of grey water and compost.
The structure is built out of hemp, which the plantation can grow.In this way the production cycle is a living cycle itself.

HEMPself is a wall structure, that produce energy for a production of hemp.
The main aim for the structure/machine is to start a production cycle of plants, which can be used in the daily life at Valdaura.
The machine use waste products from the house of Valdaura in form of grey water. The grey water is pumped from the house to a plantation with help from windturbines. The grey water is filtered and comes out as clean water. In the process the the filtration system (phytodepuration) provide water for the plantation.
The structure protects the hemp plantation from the strong wind from the north, and allow the sun to reach the plants from the south. The small plants are placed near the structure, because they need more shelter from the wind. When the small plants are strong enough, they will be placed further away the wall. In the end the plants will be harvested and will be used as components for structures, textiles etc..
The structure is built out of hemp, which the plantation grows. In that way the cycle produce itself.
The cycle of HEMPself is made.
