In 2026, art has ceased to be solely decorative. We present Atmospheric Carbon Capture Art—technological masterpieces that act as the building's lungs. At Reception Space, we create sculptures integrated with chemical filters and microalgae that actively extract CO2 from lobby air. This is the material embodiment of eco-consciousness: the more guests in the space, the more actively the art works. We explore how beauty saves the world by making every breath you take cleaner.
Functional Aesthetics: Filter-Sculptures
2026 technology allows for transforming the air purification process into a mesmerizing spectacle. In a Reception Space lobby, sculptures utilize porous ceramic structures impregnated with amine groups that literally attract carbon molecules. Inside transparent elements, one can see the solution's circulation, which changes color as it becomes saturated with CO2. This is not just an ornament; it's a working tool for fighting climate change right before your eyes.
Biological Reactor: The Power of Microalgae
Photosynthesis on an architectural scale
In 2026 projects from Reception Space, some art objects are bioreactors containing live Chlorella algae. They absorb CO2 50 times more efficiently than trees of the same weight. At night, the sculpture glows due to bioluminescence, creating a magical atmosphere. The entire system is fully automated: excess algae biomass is automatically removed and used in the lobby cafe as a superfood or sent for fertilizer production. It's a closed life cycle within the interior.
