OUR IDEARevolutionizing:

CURRENT PROBLEMS

# WASTE MANAGEMENTOrganic materials faeces, food remains not fully utilized

# FOOD PRODUCTION

Land usagePollution

High demand

Water makes up about 75% of faeces

HEALTHY GROWTH OF PLANTS!!!

BUTIN FACT

WASTAGE

However, most of our faeces are flushed away directly to sewer treatment without fulfilling its

natural purpose as organic fertilizer

Huge amounts of land are used

to produce food

POLLUTION

AIR & WATER POLLUTION

Usage of chemical fertilizers /pesticides bring harm when evaporated into the air and

soak into water sources

SOLUTIONTransforming waste into ENERGY

A BUILDING PLAN THAT WILL CHANGE HOUSING FOREVER!

BENEFITS

Encourages use of organic fertilizers, reducing

harm to environment, promoting healthy living

Saves land area required for sewer treatment

plants and agriculture

Reduce carbon emission as food transportation via vehicles

is unnecessary

Minimizes energy waste, fully utilizing waste as

resources

PROMOTES GREEN LIVING & A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

Faeces from each residential unit in the residential zone is transported to thefarming zone via sewer pipes

HOW IT WORKS

An activity done by all of us

BOWEL MOVEMENTS

RESIDENTIAL ZONE

FARMING ZONE

waste being transported from each unit to a collection tank through pipes

Gravity makes the sewer pipes function. Hence, the collection tank is situated at a lower floor

ADDED INTO THE TANK:

SOIL FOOD LEFTOVERS

To prevent odour from being released into surrounding air, a special mechanism is used to segregate air in the tank while adding soil and food leftovers

FAECES Soil / Food leftovers being manually put into the tank

Blender fans blend the mixture of waste materials together

The mixture is dropped into organic soil in the farming zone, serving as a high-nutrient fertilizer to the planted crops

SUGGESTED CROPSLeafy vegetables & vine vegetables #suitable for local climate

Harvested crops are then sold to residents and consumed

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Added to the farming zone’s building to aid in sunlight penetration and ventilation

Filled with water and bleach refract sunlight into areas that lack sunlight, minimalizing use of artificial lighting

ORGANIC-STYLE VOIDS

RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES

RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM

WATER COLLECTION TANK

Fully utilizing rainfall, it provides water for irrigation and daily usage by residents.

GREENERY ON WALLSPlantation growth cripple and grow around the building

Abundance of glass windows allow maximum light penetration into the building

Bamboo and recycled water bottles are used to construct walls of the building, making Organica more eco-friendly

BUILDING MATERIALS

CONCLUSION

Revolutionizing conventional residential space, Organica provides natural living for people. It recycles waste material and implements a new functionable system, making this world greener and healthier.
