Standard Architecture co-founders Silvia Kuhle and Jeffrey Allsbrook explain their proposal for a modular megastructure comprising pathways and vaulted pods in our latest P.O.D.System Architecture movie.

"When we first got the brief for this project, the name P.O.D.System was interesting to us, and the idea that i...
