More Interactive Cocoons

Some brilliant interactive architecture, Liquid 2.0, by Daan Roosegaarde.

How about an actual functional exhibition space modelled on an urban conceptualisation like this.... Perhaps we should be less literal- imagine this sort of thinking across a whole Newer Zealand. The implications for transport and farming are fascinating. A living surface which reconfigures itself completely during the middle of the day, when occupants are out and plants can recieve more sunlight. Or adapts to funnel the most wind energy to integral turbines. Highways based on the human neural pathways etc. I still like the idea of migrating living spaces. I expect your 20+ hours in an aluminium tube to be spent wisely....
