Bio-Fuel Growing Eco Pods

Halted in November 2008, mid-construction, the Filene development in downtown Boston is currently barely even a shell of a building. The bones of the building are up, but sub street level a giant hole leaves a gouge in the city?EUR??,,????'?????<H??weler + Yoon Architecture and Squared Design teamed up to design a vertical tower of prefabricated ?EUR??,,????'?????<

Once construction is complete, the pods could be taken and reinstalled on another building and be reused. As H??weler + Yoon says about the project, ?EUR??,,????'?????<
