SANDCRAPPER is an infrastructure of organic form inspired by the human lung. The project consists in purifying the air after a sand and dust storm. The objective is to produce clean air, to separate and valorize the particles suspended in the polluted air into materials via 3D printer, and to develop market gardening by the water resulting from the photocatalysis. In a context of accelerated population growth and global health crisis, this project provides a sustainable solution to the problems related to air pollution by sand and dust storms.
