One of my favorite newsletters featured some silly cargotecture (UNBUILT!) project in Salt Lake City.

It is not quite finished. 2 of 4 units are now complete (1 is under contract). The 2 remaining units are scheduled to be open for viewing in the next few weeks. We are planning a "Greendrinks" event when the project is 100%. Stay tuned for the date and time, maybe you can post the flier on your blog when the time comes....the more the merrier. In the meantime, if you would like to meet me on site some time this week I would be happy to show you the project....just shoot me an email. It would be great to bring your group out on Young Architects Day if it is not too far out of the way. We had some one come by yesterday from the Seattle Architecture Foundation who is interested in putting it on their architecture tour. Anyways, keep on kicking ass in that beautiful building you built! -Nick Williams, HyBrid Architects Andrew, much thanks for mentioning our project @ Remington Court!

The finished product also has the ability to be transported to a variety of locations.

People are trying too hard with the issue. Thanks for the shoutout on my furniture, I'll have photos on the website this week of the built prototypes!

Couldn't agree more with you guys - so sick of cargotecture.
