An international team of designer and designers has created this stunning centre - patch for London ’s 2012 summertime Olympics settlement . Dubbed The Cloud , three 400 ft tugboat would be joined by giant credit card spheres that serve as both observation decks and projection blind .
The giant bubbles would be structural , decorative , and be used to project conditions information , spectator numbers , and race answer . They ’d be constructed from of a case of plastic call Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene ( ETFE ) , the same poppycock used to build the Beijing Aquatic Centre .
The Cloud has been shortlisted in the competition exercise set - up by London ’s Mayor , and has been call “ a sculptural spectacle , and a celebration of engineering ” by the senior curator of
computer architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art in New York .
The designers intend to build The Cloud using micro - donations from gazillion of people . One of the architects , who ’s from MIT , told the BBC : “ We can build our Cloud with £ 5 megabyte or £ 50 m. The flexibility of the structural arrangement will allow us to tune up the sizing of the Cloud to the level of funding that is reached . ”
I desire they get all the cash they need , because that design is straight out of my Sci Fi dream . [ The CloudviaBBC ] Thanks Tom !
