Growing Synthetic Puffed Rice Bales: Urban Rewilding with Edible Plant-Based Architectural Modules
The humanitarian cavalry is airdropped sustenance: when you need to transfer immense amounts of nutrients rapidly to someplace inaccessible, nothing entirely compares to a bulky cargo aircraft and expert pilot and crew. The missing element is the specific aid package design and contents. We are seeking to rethink and develop a new simplified platform to distribute nutrient-rich aid to people in cities and local wildlife during a crisis. It is a proper form of plant-based architecture. It is not just trapped humans that need help, but also the vast threatened wildlife in the region. These same units are also suitable for edible building components such as facades, atriums, balconies, and rooftops. Biotechnology can aid in these predicaments.
Dry rice cereal, if unopened, usually has a shelf life of six to twelve months before the quality begins to deteriorate. It feeds humans and all sorts of imperiled animals. Biotech rice changes the game. Our system seeks to minimize the weight, freshness, and form of food supply. An outer layer of articulated and parametrically cast rice cake medium is affixed to an existing organic shell. The rice blocks' color, volume, and placement within the object are based on their carbon output, calories, fat, fiber, protein, and other minerals. These natural and bio-synthetic puffed rice cubes have been shaped, condensed, and combined into a single complex piece with a carbon-neutral insulating mycelium backing. These low-cost pixelated parts are meant to be consumed and replaced often.
Genetically modified rice plants are strains engineered based explicitly on use and function. For example, rice plants are altered to increase micronutrients such as vitamin A, increase photosynthesis, gain immunity to certain herbicides, ward off pests, increase mass, produce beneficial nutrients, make variable flavors, and create human proteins. The organic transition of genes across species, referred to as lateral gene transfer can also occur with rice through genes mediated by everyday environmental vectors. For instance, transgenic occurrences between rice and Setaria millet have been classified and are well-known. It's important to declare the agronomy and use of GMO assortments of rice remain highly provocative and is not permitted in many countries. Our project works in problematic and dilapidated areas that need sustenance the most.
