Omega Center for Sustainable Living Eco-Machine

I have decided to focus on 2 living machine systems, both produced by John Todd Ecological.  The first is The Omega Institute in Rhinebeck NY.

This system uses a 6 step process to treat on site water.  The combination of an interior and exterior system is what really interests me.

The second is the South Burlington Muncipal Eco-Machine; South Burlington Vermont.

This is a greenhouse based system that is capable of working efficiently even at very low temperatures.  This system is on a scale that would be more applicable to the size of our site.

    Michael,

    Looks like good projects. Are you familiar with the Omega Institute?

    Also appreciate that you are thinking about relative scale and appropriate climate.

    For both of these case studies you'll have the opportunity to improve on the extent to which the Eco Machine served as an opportunity for design.
