PANELS & MODULAR DESIGN
The Verto tower is built using GRC (Glass-Fibre Reinforced Concrete) or FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) panels, giving it a durable, long-lasting structure. The architecture employs a modular, plug-and-play system – shipped in flat-pack form and assembled on-site. Each module stacks with precision – each Verto tower comprises five full levels and a half-level base, allowing effortless on-site assembly, straightforward maintenance, and independent access to every module. The structure is built to be tamper and vandal-proof, with a two-hour fire rating – ensuring safety and durability in public installations.
The external finish and geometry balance aesthetic subtlety with structural strength – making Verto fit seamlessly into parks, corporate campuses, residential complexes, or urban public spaces, while doubling as an elegant urban sculpture. With six thoughtfully designed shades, Verto blends naturally into any landscape.

AERODYNAMICS & WIND FLOW
Verto's distinctive twisted/helical form is born out of aerodynamic design principles to maximize surface area and channel wind efficiently along its body. Through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, the design ensures minimal resistance and optimized airflow - pulling ambient air in from all directions into the filtration system. Every level is positioned in a structurally rotating configuration to enable true multidirectional air purification, while the multi directional intake and outflow ensures consistent clean air-throw around Verto with maximum output and impact.

FILTRATION SYSTEM & AIR QUALITY CAPABILITY
Verto uses advanced fine-dust filters to remove harmful airborne particles including PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀. For gaseous pollutants such as NO₂ - or situations with high ozone levels - Verto can deploy combination filters: a fine-dust filter plus a highly porous activated carbon layer that adsorbs gaseous pollutants effectively. A Verto is capable of cleaning up to 7,00,000 cubic meters of air per day - roughly equivalent to a volume covering twice the size of a cricket field at a height of 2 meters or equivalent to the capacity of 322 hot air balloons.

ADAPTIVE CONTROL, EFFICIENCY & SUSTAINABILITY
Verto is equipped with energy-efficient fans that draw ambient air into the system. A smart IoT control system enables easy operation, timely maintenance and energy saving. Filters are designed for practicality and sustainability: the filtration media is plastic-free and disposable as household waste, simplifying maintenance and minimizing environmental footprint.

SCALABILITY & REAL-WORLD IMPACT
Verto's modular, plug-and-play architecture makes it suitable for diverse urban contexts - parks, plazas, residential complexes, corporate campuses, schools, and community spaces. Its efficient design aims to deliver massive air purification capacity without compromising urban aesthetics - blending the role of a functional tower with that of a sculptural urban marker. The design of a Verto is optimised for hive configurations, creating a sustained zone of clean, breathable air. As noted by its creators and technical partners, Verto demonstrates how design, materiality, environmental science, and engineering can converge to deliver real-world solutions to air pollution.

The Hive Configuration
When deployed in a hive configuration, multiple VERTO towers work together to create a continuous zone of cleaner air rather than isolated pockets. Through technically planned placement, each tower's clean-air throw overlaps with the next, allowing these purified zones to merge into a larger, more stable microclimate. This networked approach maximises filtration efficiency, improves coverage across open spaces, and delivers a noticeably healthier breathing environment for residential and commercial areas alike.
* 700000 m3/day is equivalent to twice the size of a cricket field 2m high or equivalent to the capacity of 322 hot air balloons. Effective diameter will depend upon on site conditions such as prevalent wind speed, wind direction, air quality, presence of any obstruction and cumulative effect. Virtual testing can be done through simulations.
