Updates on Hive City!

Elevator B[ee] is an iconic gesture of the regeneration of the Silo City site, both naturally and economically. The material properties of the tower represent the cluster of material manufactures around the site while housing the colony of bees.

The students at SUNY Buffalo are almost finished(!) with constructing the project and we can all watch the process. Check out the super-cool website below.

Loads of great process photos on there too.
