POROSOLVE 370e

designed by A German company called Elegant Embellishments


•Giant Mesh Wall
•The shaped openings are able to slow down the external wind and simoultaneously create a turbulence that will attract
more air particles
•The main depolluting material is a Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)nano-surface, which breaks down contaminated air into clean air.
•AN ELEGANT FORM OF AIR PURIFICATION
•The ProSolve 370e system consists of modular architectural tiles coated with titanium dioxide
•. While the antimicrobial and air-purifying effects of titanium dioxide have been known for years, it is the form and
application of ProSolve that is particularly innovative
•The tiles are designed for absolute material efficiency, exposing more surface area to daylight to activate the pollution-
fighting technology
•The elegant, organic form becomes a memorable signifier on the building, reminding passersby of the city’s air pollution
problem.
•The lagacey façade was inspired by quasicrystal patterns, resulting in a white geometric shade that covers the front of the
building. Spanning almost 27,00 square feet
•Mexico City is a densely populated, heavily trafficked city, with many older cars on the road that produce high carbon
emissions, making it an ideal place to install a cleansing façade
•The modules are coated with a superfine titaniumdioxide a pollution fighting technology that is activated by ambient datlight
•The tiles are made of light weight thermoformed fire rated ABS plastic shell ,joined with standard steel fixings
•Environmental friendly material
•When installed near heavy traffic or on building facades, the tiles help to neutralize emissions and other toxins, stopping
them dead in their track
•A network of the tiles not only helps to clean the air entering their host buildings, but also the air in the urban setting
•Aside from acting as an incredible urban air filter, the prosolve370e skin acts as a natural light filtration system and solar gain
blocker for the interior of the Hospital Manuel Gea Gonzalez, effectively saving the hospital’s energy bill for climate control
and light
• prosolve370e is a decorative architectural module that can effectively reduce air pollution in cities when installed near traffic
ways or on building facades
• As a modification to existing architectural surfaces, prosolve370e essentially “tunes buildings” to respond better to their
immediate environments. 
•  According to recent technology studies, it is reducing the pollution of 1,000 cars per day
• A pollution-eating facade module
3D Architectural Tiles
• the undulating shapes maximize the surface area of active coating to diffuse light, air turbulence and pollution.
• Key points:
• effectively reduces air pollution (NOx,VOCs, SO2)
• a modular system of few tooled parts
• forms decorative, non-repetitive patterns for facades
• made from lightweight thermoformed plastic panels
• a standardized system for exterior applications
• semi-customizable to project conditions
• an innovative, eco product
• Applications:
• building facades
• car parks
• traffic tunnels/ transport entrances
• along motorways or urban circulars
• The 2500m2 quasicrystal facade is composed of prosolve370e modules- three dimensional architectural modules with
photocatalytic pollution-fighting technology
• When positioned near pollution sources, the modules break down and neutralize NOx (nitrogen oxides), VOCs (volatile
organic compounds), SO2, and FPM directly where they are generated
• While the pattern resembles organic growth, the system is still composed with only two repeating modules
• The modules have been installed across the globe, with projects in Mexico, Australia, and Unite Arab Emirates.
• 1) Sunlight hits a surface treated with titanium dioxide (TiO2), which is energized by ultraviolet light.
• (2) TiO2 interacts with polluting gases and particulate matter.
• (3) They become less harmful. (State Dept./Doug Thompson.

• This coating reacts with light to neutralise elements of air pollution, negating the effects of up to 1,000 cars a day according
to its developers.
• The facade of the Torre de Especialidades (described below) is expected to eliminate NOx in the equivalent of 8,750 vehicles
per day
• The Torre de Especialidades, part of del Hospital General Dr. Manuel Gea González in Mexico City, has been treated with a
100 meter long, curved screen on its 2500 square-meter facade along Avenida San Fernando
• The 2500m2 facade at Torre de Especialidades is a 100m long, curved screen along Avenida San Fernando, a busy arterial in
Tlalpan, in the southern quarter of Mexico City
