Boston architects propose vertical farms tended by robotic arms~




Bostonian architecture firm Höweler + Yoon took a look at some of the stalled construction projects around town and decided to not only gussy them up, but make them useful as well. The solution? Eco-Pods, or algae garden capsules attached to the skeletal, halted construction projects~

Designed in cooperation with LA's Squared Design Lab, the capsule would be rotated and repositioned by robotic arms to maximize efficiency, and the end product would be biofuel. It's all a bit sci-fi, but — hey — it'd be sweet if it ever came to see the light of day~
