3 DAYS TO BUILD YOUR SUSTAINABLE LEGACY IN 2025 (AND BEYOND)
Discover Verto: The Air Purification Revolution in Cities
Have you ever imagined a city where the air is purified by a single tower? This innovative reality is being brought forth by Studio Symbiosis, which, upon moving to New Delhi, faced a challenge common to many metropolises: severe air pollution.
The answer to this challenge came in the form of Verto, a 5.5-meter-tall air purification tower designed to be effective and a design icon.
Equipped with artificial intelligence and advanced filtering systems, Verto can purify up to 600 thousand cubic meters of air daily. Its effectiveness extends up to 500 meters, transforming highly polluted areas into spaces with breathable air.
The secret to this innovative efficiency lies in sophisticated aerodynamics and recyclable filters. And, consuming energy equivalent to a vacuum cleaner, Verto represents a sustainable and highly effective solution to air pollution.
The first test in New Delhi was a success and a revolutionary milestone. Demonstrating incredible potential in improving urban air quality, Verto opens up new possibilities for a cleaner and healthier future.
