A material assembly of vacuum-formed bioreactor panel system growing algae, housed in a dual layer timber grid shell. The system is powered through air pumped into the panels by a trompe system in running water and purifies the surrounding air for the public to safely breathe, with the algae growth becoming a byproduct for selling.
