Organica is a proposed residential development that would revolutionize waste management and food production through an integrated system. Residents would have their food waste and faeces processed into organic fertilizer to be used in an on-site urban farm, where crops would be grown and sold back to residents. This closed-loop system aims to reduce pollution, save land and resources, while promoting healthy living. The development would include residential units, an agricultural farm, and a market area, with waste transported through pipes to fertilize crops and minimize food transportation needs.

- 1. ORGANICA Green life. Life ofits own.
- 2. By: Lim JoeOnn, Jeff Ong Seng Peng, Tristan Yu Zhe Xian OUR IDEA Revolutionizing: Residences waste management food production
- 3. CURRENT PROBLEMS # WASTE MANAGEMENT Organicmaterials faeces, food remains not fully utilized # FOOD PRODUCTION Land usage Pollution High demand
- 4. Water makes up about 75%of faeces Plant nutrients CHEMICALPROPERTIES of FAECES BACTERIA MUCUS SOLUBLE & INSOLUBLE FIBERS + NITROGEN PHOSPHOROUS
- 5. HEALTHY GROWTH OFPLANTS!!!
- 7.
- 8. However, most ofour faeces are flushed away directly to sewer treatment without fulfilling its natural purpose as organic fertilizer
- 9. Huge amounts ofland are used to produce food
- 10.
- 11. AIR & WATERPOLLUTION Usage of chemical fertilizers /pesticides bring harm when evaporated into the air and soak into water sources
- 12.
- 13. A BUILDING PLAN THATWILL CHANGE HOUSING FOREVER!
- 14.
- 15. DIAGRAM OF ORGANICA Residential Zone Agricultural /Farming Zone Market Area
- 16. NATURAL LIVING -FARMING & RESIDENCES NEXT TO EACH OTHER!!!
- 17. Faeces Food remains Processed asorganic fertilizer Used in urban farming Crops harvested Fruits & vegetables Sold to residents in market Edible organic food Food consumed by residents
- 18.
- 19.
- 21.
- 22. Encourages use of organicfertilizers, reducing harm to environment, promoting healthy living
- 23. Saves land arearequired for sewer treatment plants and agriculture
- 24. Reduce carbon emissionas food transportation via vehicles is unnecessary
- 25. Minimizes energy waste,fully utilizing waste as resources
- 26. PROMOTES GREEN LIVING& A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
- 27. Faeces from eachresidential unit in the residential zone is transported to the farming zone via sewer pipes HOW IT WORKS
- 28. An activity doneby all of us BOWEL MOVEMENTS
- 29. RESIDENTIAL ZONE FARMING ZONE waste being transportedfrom each unit to a collection tank through pipes
- 30. Gravity makes thesewer pipes function. Hence, the collection tank is situated at a lower floor
- 31. ADDED INTO THETANK: SOIL FOOD LEFTOVERS
- 32. To prevent odourfrom being released into surrounding air, a special mechanism is used to segregate air in the tank while adding soil and food leftovers
- 33. SOIL FAECES Soil / Foodleftovers being manually put into the tank
- 34.
- 35.
- 36. SOIL Blender fans blendthe mixture of waste materials together
- 37. The mixture isdropped into organic soil in the farming zone, serving as a high-nutrient fertilizer to the planted crops
- 38. SUGGESTED CROPS Leafy vegetables& vine vegetables #suitable for local climate
- 39. Harvested crops arethen sold to residents and consumed
- 40. ADDITIONAL FEATURES Added tothe farming zone’s building to aid in sunlight penetration and ventilation Filled with water and bleach refract sunlight into areas that lack sunlight, minimalizing use of artificial lighting ORGANIC-STYLE VOIDS RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES
- 41. RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM WATER COLLECTION TANK Fully utilizingrainfall, it provides water for irrigation and daily usage by residents.
- 42. GREENERY ON WALLS Plantationgrowth cripple and grow around the building
- 43. Abundance of glasswindows allow maximum light penetration into the building Bamboo and recycled water bottles are used to construct walls of the building, making Organica more eco-friendly BUILDING MATERIALS
- 44. CONCLUSION Revolutionizing conventional residential space,Organica provides natural living for people. It recycles waste material and implements a new functionable system, making this world greener and healthier.
