In short, Biopods are human—scale, modular, floating wetlands, developed by my team as part of our work supported by the RISD Somerson Sustainability Innovation Fund. Built from mycelium mushroom and local wetland plant life, the Biopods purify water through bioremediation: the use of naturally occurring ecologies to depollute a given site. In other words, they allow the plants to take in polluted water through their roots, filter it through their natural life cycles, and deposit healthy water back into the river over time.

The goal was to creative a flexible, organic, scalable identity system for the project as we moved into the planning of public—facing events with the city of Providence.

What is a Biopod?
