The Greenhouse

Brilliant. It takes a genius to come up with the blindingly obvious (also known as the 'too ludicrous to be true'), and Vincent Callebaut is clearly a genius. How else could you describe (in polite company and before the watershed) somebody who comes up with the idea of floating cities? If you think that's a bit barmy, not to mention dealing with the symptoms of global warming rather than the cause, consider his 'anti-smog ' and 'the perfumed jungle' projects (I use the word in its loosest sense). Clearly a man capable of thinking the unthinkable - and the unbuildable. That's architects for you.
