Tentang Boat Biologs Bioremediasi Taman Rakit Apung

Berkolaborasi dengan komunitas perahu London, taman terapung bioremediasi ini dirancang untuk dibangun dan dipasang oleh penghuni perahu dengan menggunakan bahan-bahan yang dapat diakses dan bersumber secara lokal untuk melawan polusi air kanal. Dengan memberikan insentif kepada para pelaut dengan janji membangun taman terapung pribadi, seruan aksi berbasis komunitas ini secara otomatis menyusun strategi dan menargetkan sumber pencemaran air dan mengubahnya menjadi solusi. Hal ini secara kolektif meningkatkan kualitas ekosistem air bersama sekaligus mendorong pertumbuhan tanaman, serangga, dan burung asli.

Keunikan: Bioremediating floating gardens designed to be installed on boats created in collaboration with the London boat community addressing the rising water pollution of the canals in the United Kingdom.
Boat BioLogs are tools converting boats, a rising source of canal water pollution, into the solution to the problem. Incentivising boaters with the luxury of a private garden motivates them to install it and inspires dialogue in celebration of nature's self-healing properties.
Dimensi & Kemasan: 1200 mm (This can vary according to the user building the garden) x 300 mm x 140 mm
I made 2 such pieces and connected them together. The same way, the total length (or width) can be as much as the user wants)
In making:
12mm coir rope
8mm Marine Grade Carbiner
M5 Marine Grade Dome Nuts
M5 Marine Grade Nuts
4mm Marine Grade Link Chain
110mm Semi-Flexible H D P E Pipe
110mm Pipe Bracket
914mm Coir Pot Liners
Geotextile Roll
48mm Cable Ties
5000 mm x 1000 mm H D P E mesh

Teknologi Produksi: D I Y strategy makes the gardens adaptable and affordable, so it aligns with the boater’s self-sufficient lifestyle. These urban gardens use biodegradable, long-lasting, rust and corrosion resistant materials that do not react to sunlight (or if they do, are well-insulated). Parts can be locally sourced:
Coconut Coir
H D P E semi-flexible pipe
Marine Grade Stainless Steel
H D P E mesh
Locally sourced soil
Native plants
The biofilm growing on the roots breaks down some pollutants and the plant absorbs the rest.
Tantangan Desain: Hyperaccumulating plants, although native, may become invasive.By consulting with bioremediation experts, secondary research,many iterations I identified safe planting method: plant between 2 pipes (that help with flotation) ensuring growth within the space.
Sourcing parts from local hardware stores/ nurseries, an accessible/ affordable building method (user’s perspective) was implemented.
Space being a huge constraint for boat residents, I utilised dead space to design the garden like a fender.
Riset: Bioremediation experts:understand phytoremediation methods, practical implementation/scalability:
Dr Gideon Corby
Hector Andrade
Andrew Gregson
Collaborating with boat residents:learn about lifestyle, views/input on project, identify constraints/opportunities:
Romany and Drake Smith
David Dyer
Bioremediation company websites for structural and material inspiration
Research papers/books,e.g., Earth Repair by Leila Darwish:understand hyperaccumulation
U X design expert for app: Shreetej Purandare
Prototyping
Inspirasi: Plants, considered as biopollutants, adapt to the Anthropocene age and fight pollution. They break down/ absorb pollutants in our shared ecosystems, create a fast-growing biomass and be utilised for compost, research and fields like phytomining, i.e., fighting pollution with biopollution.
I was also inspired by my audience - their tightly-knit community and their nomadic and self-sufficient lifestyle.
Durasi Proyek: This is my master's final year project that started in December 2020 and ended in June 2021 in London, mainly focused in Camden (Local boat community), and was exhibited in M A Material Futures 2021 Exhibition, Kings Cross, London (June 2021) and published in the M A M F 2021 Catalogue. It was also shortlisted in the Global Graduate Showcase by Gucci in the Sustainable Design Category
Alur Operasi: The user scans a Q R code seen on an already installed garden which downloads the app. The app details instructions on why it is important, a ‘how to make’ video, materials needed, plants to use, care instructions and so on. The user buys materials from local hardware stores/ nurseries and builds the garden. Along with the plants, they also install the Q R code.
This way, the community spreads awareness about the product to collectively improve the quality of canal water pollution.
