Designers received a very short briefing on the goals and client on the 10th. This semester we will be using a Peace Lily (Genus Spathiphyllum). These species are have higher transpiration rates and are also noted for their propensity to accumulate toxins. In this experimental course we know that we will be trying to collect the transpired water vapor back as liquid water. Our fist challenge is to understand the process in the plants and processes condensing the vapor as well as strategies on how to conduct the condensate into reservoirs. Other design problems like concept, application, materials, etc. will be addressed later after we have studied the system for a few weeks
Designers were asked to submit sketches ideas for capturing transpiration from the Peace Lily based on the very short project brief on the first day. Here are the sketches I received:
