The droplets are the primary elements of this process. Their activity, presence and form resonate throughout the scheme.

Many parts of the tower are open to the public to view the processes at close quarters. Even from the lifts, the daily state of vegetable husbandry will be visible. A variety of different arrangements of plantation and localized environment are distributed over its length.

The principal purpose of the tower is to CREATE ALGAE. When watered and filtered the algae create BIOMASS used as food for fish and plants and for making paper and BIOFUEL for powering engines this process takes CO2 (a known hazard in Taiwan) out of the environment.

We see an analogy between our algae drops and the Quintessential chinese lantern

In the basic tower (illustrated) we provide 10.888 M2 surface of algae Which produces 3,266,400 liters of oil And produces 81,820.83 kgs of biomass in a year. The same structure could be further developed – with accumulated Income and therefore more bags to a maximum of double the surface and thus creating 6,532,800 liters of oil and 81,820.83 kgs of biomass in a year

THE STRUCTURE is a series of steel lattices that wind around the steel elevator cores. The droplets are steel cages with membrane skinning.

ORGANISATION There are 3 observation levels : TOP OBSERVATION LEVEL : overlooks the mountains MID OBSERVATION LEVEL : contains areas of hydroponic vegetation growth : enabling PUBLIC VIEWING of plants and processes LOWER OBSERVATION LEVEL : contain aviaries and aquaria (due to weight)

There are 3 office zones, all are used by the City development Authority.

THE MUSEUM at the base of the tower contains 5 floors On its top are viewable algae systems At middle levels are exhibition zones based of techniques developed by the authors at the Kunsthaus Graz (Austria) and the War Museum of the . (UK).

The park is inspired by the spirit and mannerisms of the algae drops.
