What if buildings had their own digestive system?

Text and drawing by Frits Ahlefeldt

Our modern lives we produce a growing amount of waste, that pollutes the surroundings, and take ever greater amounts of energy to get rid of, while producing climate altering gasses like methane.

What if our buildings had their own metabolism and digestive system, so they could produce both energy and heat from the waste we produce in house… so to speak
