East London undergoes a radical transformation influenced by moss and microalgae propagation patterns. This network is translated into urban elements: green space, waterbodies, and urbanscape. This results in an integrated energy landscape.

Woodland ecotones have a high level of moss propagation as they are located among woody features and forest habitats. These are ideal environments for moss growth.

Aquatic ecotones have a high level of microalgae propagation due to their proximity to water environments.

Aquatic ecotones are main collection centres for microalgae, which is then extracted to form an algal gel medium. Coupled with moss, they generate electricity through their symbiotic relationship and photovoltaic properties.

Aquatic ecotones consist of microalgae cultivation ponds, habitats for aquatic species, and tidal areas for leisure purposes.

East London undergoes a radical transformation influenced by moss and microalgae propagation patterns. This network is translated into urban elements: green space, waterbodies, and urban landscape.

The transitional space between the urban landscape and natural landscapes are energy ecotones. These ecotones create spaces for both non-humans and humans, and redistribute energy in a decentralised manner.

Physical ecotones are disseminated across urban areas to create spaces for humans and non-humans, and are optimal areas for biomaterial propagation.

Aquatic and forest typologies are biomaterial production hubs, and urban areas are the main consumption hubs.

Woodland ecotones have a high level of moss propagation as they are located among woody features and forest habitats, which are ideal environments for moss growth.

Consisting of human, non-human and production programmes, woodland ecotones comprise nature reserves and habitats for woodland species.

Woodland ecotones are one of the main biomaterial collection centres, specifically for the cultivation of moss.

In urban areas, ecotone structures disseminate and become more integrated within the cities’ infrastructure. They act as the main consumption hubs where electricity generated would be extracted and later utilised.

Urban ecotones consist of charging stations as energy extraction points, parks, and energy underpasses.

Biological and artificial intelligence collaborate in the creation of a new, post-anthropocentric energy network.

The morphology of moss propagation on the clay substrate is simulated, and the amount of electricity generated by a single prototypical unit is tested.

The building blocks of the ecotones are composed of a clay substrate, microalgae gel and moss, as well as cabling components.

Through the extraction of consumption and production nodes, an energy network is created and then transformed through a morphogenetic process that occurs via machine learning.

Biomaterial growth factors are mapped to locate new energy production hotspots.

Urban habitats for human and non-human species are mapped in order to locate energy consumption nodes.
