The life cycle of the Chestnut Family consists of seven stages. The construction begins with the installation of concrete core carbon rod to provide stability and internal cleaning process. The next phase is to attach the panels to the core, enabling the whole system to operate.

Private companies own the towers in which the sheet becomes a comodity to generate more profit.
The Chestnuts will capture the air pollutants and solidify them into sheets of asphalt to generate additional land mass else where.

Additional landmass in public space will help educate the community to the importance of the towers and their benefits.
Like the Cheonggyecheon River Project, the park infiltrates itself into the urban region while providing social and civic demand to celebrate public space.
The symbotic relationship between the park and the air filters will eventually restore the city of Seoul to a healthy living situation
