I think that there is a real need for us to rethink architecture as a whole and dare to support ambitious projects (and I don't only mean "big" by ambitious). The current tools (new knowledge in physics, new materials, new ways of producing energy, new IT) beg us to use them to compensate for the epic FAILs of the 60's to 80's. I live in Paris, and as much as I love the typical Haussman buildings, my geek-sense keeps on tingling with the obvious lack of optimisation of space and light (and sound !). The city as a whole may look grrreat, but it's not that great to live in, and it's harder and harder to get the authorisations to have work done in your flat. The name may be inappropriate, but I love the shapes, spaces, the light. I’d LOVE to live in that !

If it's a 2D object with zero volume, I don't think I'd like to live there, where would I put my stuff? Looks nice though. Why is it a Klein bottle house?
