The Ark of Cape Cod, one of several arks built by the New Alchemists in 1970s, was a lifeboat of biological diversity and autonomy, consisted of three main greenhouse-covered ponds, which together produced a water recycling system of interconnecting vessels. Each pond would feed the other through the strategic rerouting of its constituents: one pond contained fish for protein, whereas its water was cycled into another, which acted as a filter. Within a different pond, water passed through crushed shells and bacteria to detoxify waste and chemicals produced by the fish. Algae-eating crustaceans, and water was purified, as well as enriched with nutrients when cycled back. In the new version, the symbiotic relationship between humans, fish, algae, and other microorganisms is maintained and enhanced via mechanical infrastructure that regulates moisture, temperature, and light to support the microclimates needed to store solar heat and water supply for agriculture. What changes is the envelope which now becomes an active recirculatory algae system of the intake/output pump tubes. Rather than an inert shell that seals the induced microclimates, the shell is now the main monitoring device of issuing healthy green algae, which not only produce oxygen but also turn to powder for soil to grow the plants, create a spirulina sauna pool that provides minerals to humans, and nutrients eaten by animals and fish in aquaponics ponds. The coexistence of humans and animals as active agents of the facility’s cycle is evident both in the consumption of plants grown from algae and in the use of wellness infrastructure, like the algae sauna. In this cycle, oxygen becomes abundant, keeping humidity levels fit for the growth and wellbeing of different species.
