Strategy to save Venice to oil the sea and submerge "Future Venice" project started

Spray oil balls similar to olive oil called "Smart Salad Dressing" (smart dressing), which is designed to react with carbon dioxide in water to produce calcium carbonate,LimestoneTo "bottom up" the city of Venice by forming a reef such as "to prevent submergence by global warming"Future VeniceIt is said that the project called "Starting on February 26".

Although this strategy seems like an unexpected and unexpected idea, the architects and the chemists involved in the project are surrounded by water gatesLagoonIt seems that we think that it can be a defensive measure instead of the ongoing plan to control the tide of the current one.

Future Venice

This projectUniversity College LondonBartlett Architecture SchoolDoctor of Medical Education with Educational AssistantRachel ArmstrongMr.,University of Southern DenmarkHe is an Associate Professor of Physics and Chemistry and a honorary senior lecturer at Bartlett Architecture SchoolMartin HanczycDr., Bartlett Architecture SchoolNeil SpillerProfessor led will be held in London on February 26 (Friday)Unconventional Computing & ArchitectureIt is said that it will officially start at the meeting.

"Smart dressing" also refers to the name "protosel"oleic acidSuch asfatty acidPrimitive cells without DNA, wrapped in an assortment ofProtocell) It is like things.

Dr. Rachel Armstrong says, "Our" protosel "is based on the chemical nature of water and oil and has the specific properties of making limestone-like substances from carbon dioxide."

According to Professor Spiller, the pile that supports the city of Venice said that the pin heels of women's shoes are subducting into the lagoon so as to sink into the sand, "The carbonate sediment that oil balls generate is used as part of this foundation If we can deposit it, we will be able to disperse the load on the pile and slow down the sinking or sinking speed. "

Dr. Armstrong and colleagues believe that this project can be a measure to prevent Venice from submergence instead of a water gate installation plan to control the tide of the lagoon. However, the "protosel" technology is still in the experimental stage at the moment, and it is expected that it will take 3-5 years for practical application.
