AirBubble为儿童创造了一个净化的小气候，在华沙（波兰）的中心创造了一个真正的清洁空气的气泡。该项目位于哥白尼科学中心（Centrum Nauki Kopernik）外的公共绿地内，这个地方还将举办一个专门的展览，说明AirBubble发明背后的设计创新。该游乐场整合了Photo. Synthetica技术，将光合作用先进地整合到建筑环境中。
AirBubble creates a purified microclimate for children to play in, a true bubble of clean air in the centre of Warsaw (Poland). The project is located within the public green space outside of the Copernicus Science Centre (Centrum Nauki Kopernik), a site that will also host a dedicated exhibition illustrating the design innovation behind the invention of AirBubble. The playground integrates the Photo. Synthetica technology for the advanced integration of photosynthesis in the built environment.
根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的数据，空气污染是全球最大的健康威胁。华沙被选为这个项目的第一个激活地，因为它是欧洲污染最严重的城市之一。AirBubble发明了一种新的建筑类型学。它包含了一个圆柱形的木材结构，包裹在ETFE膜中，保护着52个玻璃水藻反应器。这创造了一个真正的城市藻类温室。该空间配备了绳索、脚泵和弹力球，可以作为游乐场和户外教室。藻类园艺系统的白色气泡噪音掩盖了周围的城市噪音，提供了一个平静的氛围，让人们在其中玩耍和互动。
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is the biggest global health threat. Warsaw was selected as the first activation for this project as it is one of the most polluted cities in Europe. AirBubble invents a new architectural typology. It incorporates a cylindrical timber structure wrapped in an ETFE membrane protecting 52 glass algae reactors. This creates a real urban algae greenhouse. The space is equipped with ropes, foot pumps, and bouncy spheres, and can function as both playground and outdoor classroom. The white bubbling noise of the algae gardening system masks the surrounding urban noise to provide a calming atmosphere in which to play and interact.
过滤过程通过操场结构的建筑形态得到加强。ETFE膜–由ecoLogicStudio于2018年在都柏林展示的PhotoSynthetica城市幕布系统演变而来–控制AirBubble内部的微气候。倒锥形屋顶膜进一步刺激了空气再循环和自然通风，这反过来又使游乐区保持清洁。
The filtering process is enhanced by the architectural morphology of the playground structure. The ETFE membrane – an evolution of the PhotoSynthetica urban curtain system presented in Dublin in 2018 by ecoLogicStudio – controls the microclimate inside AirBubble. The inverted conical roof membrane further stimulates the air recirculation and natural ventilation, which in turn keeps the play area clean.
AirBubble监测系统集成了城市空气污染传感器，并连接到一个数据处理平台，能够实时比较测量结果，并突出六种核心污染物的空气质量指数：细颗粒物PM2.5和PM10、地面臭氧（O3）、二氧化氮（NO2）、二氧化硫（SO2）和一氧化碳（CO）。AirBubble能够吸收空气中97%的氮气和75%的颗粒物。
The AirBubble monitoring system integrates urban air pollution sensors and is connected to a data processing platform capable of comparing measurements in real-time and of highlighting the Air Quality Index for six core pollutants: fine particulates PM2.5 and PM10, ground-level Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). AirBubble is capable of absorbing 97% of the nitrogen and 75% of the particulate matter in the air.
2021年5月收集的早期数据显示，操场内的PM2.5浓度已经下降到世界卫生组织建议的限度内（绿色区域，AQI低于20）。峰值降低率为83%，令人印象深刻。这个数字是通过比较位于AirBubble外面的污染传感器的读数和放置在里面的监测设备的实时数据反馈计算出来的。监测阶段将持续到整个夏季和秋季，以便在更长的时间内，在不同的气候条件和使用模式下验证这些有希望的成就。
Early data collected in May 2021 shows concentrations of PM2.5 within the playground have fallen well within the recommended WHO limits (green zone, AQI below 20). The peak reduction rate is an impressive 83%. This figure has been calculated by comparing readings from a pollution sensor located outside AirBubble with real-time data feeds from a monitoring device placed inside. The monitoring phase will continue throughout the summer and into the autumn to verify these promising achievements over a longer period of time, under different climatic conditions and patterns of use.
在接下来的几个月里，AirBubble将成为一个独特的城市实验室，一个应用生物技术及其在解决空气污染和减轻其对儿童健康影响方面的应用的试验台。
Over the next few months, AirBubble will become a unique urban laboratory, a testbed of applied biotechnology and its application in tackling air pollution and in mitigating its effect on children’s health.
AirBubble拥有52个硼硅酸盐玻璃的大型生物反应器，其中包含520升活的绿色小球藻培养物，可以过滤200升/分钟的污染空气流。在液体介质冲洗颗粒的同时，水藻主动吃掉污染分子和二氧化碳，然后释放出新鲜的清洁氧气。
The AirBubble hosts 52 large bioreactors in borosilicate glass which contain 520 litres of living green Chlorella sp algae cultures that can filter a flow of polluted air of 200 litres/minute. While the liquid medium washes particles, the algae actively eat the polluting molecules as well as carbon dioxide to then release fresh clean oxygen.
净化过程由太阳能和儿童的玩耍提供动力。孩子们可以通过跳上放置在地面上的四个水脚泵，同时在弹跳的气泡和内部绳索系统上保持平衡来进行互动。
The purifying process is powered by solar energy and children’s playfulness. Kids can interact by jumping on four water foot pumps positioned on the ground while balancing on the bouncy bubbles and the internal rope system.
为了纪念首个AirBubble的落成，ecoLogicStudio在哥白尼科学中心(Centrum Nauki Kopernik)设计了一个互动多媒体展览，说明建筑创新和生物技术是游乐场系统的核心。
To mark the inauguration of the first-ever AirBubble, ecoLogicStudio has designed an interactive multimedia exhibition at the Copernicus Science Centre (Centrum Nauki Kopernik), illustrating the architectural innovation and biotechnology at the heart of the playground system.
该展览由三个区域组成。监测》从儿童健康的独特角度探讨了城市空气污染。净化空气 “揭示了建筑和活的微生物的强大共生关系，并着重于空气污染物的过滤和再代谢。呼吸》让孩子们参与互动演示，了解如何通过游戏的能量和呼吸清洁的空气来治愈他们的身体和我们的城市。
The exhibition is composed of three areas: Monitor explores urban air pollution from the unique perspective of children’s health. Purify the air reveals the powerful symbiosis of architecture and living microorganisms, and focuses on the filtration and re-metabolization of air pollutants. Breathe engages kids in an interactive demonstration of how to heal their bodies and our cities through the energy of play and breathing clean air.
