Magnificent Jellyfish Gardens Purify The Water While Growing Food

Intriguing eco-friendly innovations are unveiled all the time, but the floating Jellyfish Lodge is probably unlike anything you've ever seen before. In addition to being aesthetically appealing, the lodges can purify the land, air, and water and grow nourishing food.

Designer Janine Hung relays that the structures combine trash-collecting tentacles, aquaponic gardens, and a filtration system that all work to benefit the environment.

The solar-powered lodges utilize aquaponic technology to grow fruits and vegetables while cleaning the air with an electrostatic system. Each structure features and interior garden that thrives by filtering polluted water. Additionally, long tentacle arms which appear similar to a jellyfish's collect drifting trash without harming wildlife.

Unfortunately, it's not likely this design will be realized, as it only received an Honorable Mention award in this year's Biodesign Competition, reports Inhabitat. However, it's so neat we figured the concept needed to be shared.
