In other words, this is not a real thing, this is just a showcase PR project to drum up business via global PR via unwitting news media. Just like David Fisher guy and his revovleing 96 Floor towers in Duba. Never gonna happen. same with LilyPad. It was meant to showcase the man's talents, which ARE considerable, but this is not about climate change at all. Pure PR hype. A business agenda. All architects do this now. use the media to drum up business. remember the Eiffel Tower redesign? same thing.
