Oceanic Plastic Filter Platform
Abstract
The project offers an architectonical solution to the damage caused to the environment by plastic garbage floating in the ocean as a result of many years of throwaway culture. In this context, the project was developed as a prototype of a Floating Platform that filters the ocean, capturing and absorbing the floating plastic without affecting the biodiversity. The project is located 4 km off
the coast of Easter Island, near the center of the mega-vortex of the South Pacific Ocean, home to millions of tons of floating plastic; thus a strategic
point to start a global clean up and turn into a worldwide ecological standard
