It is a recreational landscape skirting urbanity and nature, landscape, farming, and industrial production.<\/p>\n<p>Three long, slim structures rise 50 meters above an engineered wetland, interacting with the industrial skyline in the background. Seen from the Little Mermaid, the sleek towers contrast with the chimneys behind. From downtown Copenhagen, the structures appear as translucent screens, in contrast to the massive walls of the old B&#038;W assembly building. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/GRIDslide3.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"GRID slide\" width=\"500\" height=\"348\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3396\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Changes in the sea level activate floating pumps that press algae-filled water into the towers.

The algae purifies the water while its volume increases up to six-fold during the day. The energy-rich product is collected as gasification feedstock for a 2.5 MW generator located in the bottom of the eastern tower\u2014visible to visitors but enclosed by glass screens. Byproducts of the production cycle include phosphorus, potassium, and recalcitrant carbon, which have many commercial applications, including fertilizer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GRID Slide Submission to the 2014 Land Art Generator Initiative Copenhagen design competition Artist Team: Morten Rask Madsen, Julie Trier [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[74,102,73,69],"tags":[85],"class_list":["post-3393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2014-lagi-submissions","category-architecture","category-lagi-2014-design-competition","category-renewable-energy-public-art","tag-lagi-2014"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3393"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3393"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5047,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3393\/revisions\/5047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
