Resilien Apparatus for surviving environmental change

The Resilient apparatus for surviving environmental change explores the environmental concerns the world is facing today by imagining a future where these issues have exasperated. The project is a conceptual solution, an apparatus for nomads to help their bodies get used to changing urban conditions while travelling. Three possible scenarios are being explored: in London clean food is grown, in Sofia air is filtered through use of air purifying plants and in Cape Town water is desalinated through mangrove roots. The project started with a research and analysis of the big issues we face today in the big metropolises. Some of them are bad air, water and food quality, overpopulation, migration, traffic, stress, mental health issues and more. The environmental issues that the world faces today are global and complex. They can be experienced even stronger in the big cities, because a chain of reaction is created there: the cities are overpopulated, so there is too much transportation and manufacturing which contributes to the air quality. The same reason affects the food and the water, because the consumption in the cities is so great, that it is difficult to produce enough amount of clean water and food for everybody. As a result of these issues and the stress we are exposed to constantly, health and mental health issues arise more frequently. Environmental awareness is the understanding of the fragility of the environment and the importance of protecting it.
