  • cleantech corridor
    Project UMBRELLA just took the $5,000 first place award in The Architect’s Newspaper and SCI‐Arc's recent Los Angeles Cleantech Corridor and Green District Competition, which asked entrants to envision downtown LA as an incubator for green technology and jobs. Designed by Constantin Boincean, Ralph Bertram and Aleksandra Danielak, UMBRELLA features a series of umbrella-like solar evaporators that collect and clean city sewage so that it can eventually be released into the streets, generating a "transformation into a network of lush, cultivated landscapes."
