Therm Harvest Nexus
Geothermal Cycling Greenhouse
The Therm Harvest Nexus is an innovative architectural design that addresses the challenges of heat and energy loss in geothermal power generation. Inspired by Iceland's unique volcanic landscapes and local architectural forms, this concept effectively harnesses geothermal energy at various loss stages. It utilizes the residual heat for crop cultivation and various other applications. Simultaneously, it significantly reduces thermal loss during geothermal energy production, promoting sustainability.
The Therm Harvest Nexus presents a comprehensive solution to global and systemic issues by introducing an innovative approach to harvesting geothermal energy for the cultivation of fruits and vegetables in environments traditionally unsuitable for such activities. By situating the project within the Icelandic landscape, it leverages natural volcanic activity as a sustainable energy source, fostering a symbiotic relationship between the planet, its resources and human activity.
WINNER STATEMENTWe are thrilled to be recognized with the iF DESIGN STUDENT AWARD! We hope to raise awareness about geothermal energy and its potential, not only in Iceland but also in regions like Taiwan, where its application can make significant strides towards sustainable energy practices.
