SEEDS FOR CHANGE: A PADDINGTON POLLUTION SOLUTION AND THE WESTWAY GARDEN PATH

by Jan Macbean

Seeds for change is comprised of two phases, A Paddington Pollution Solution and The Westway Garden Path. Phase One looks to manage the dangerously high level of air pollution around the Paddington Basin by sequestering CO2 and NO2 with algae from the canal. A parasitic structure suspends the two laboratory modules that house the technology for processing algae and generating electricity, affording the building self-sufficiency. The Forum at ground level is the medium for communicating information to the public, empowering locals with knowledge to enable the ‘greenification’ of the Westway: Phase Two, The Garden Path.
