Processing food

Drones fly from the leaves towards the foodtower. This organic tower consists of egg like chambers constructed along the bromeliad leave and the pillar. Inside the tower the food gets processed into ready to eat meals. These meals are delivered by the mini-chiroptera to the people that live inside the city.
