Eco-pods by Howeler + Yoon Architecture and Squared Design Lab

This animation by Los Angeles digital designers Squared Design Lab shows their conceptual project where an unfinished building would be covered in modular pods growing algae for biofuel. Robotic arms would constantly rearrange the pods to maintain optimum growing conditions.

Squared Design Lab developed the concept in collaboration with Howeler + Yoon Architecture, and first presented it on Dezeen in 2009.
