Q. How do you solve the current housing crisis in the U.S.A.? A: Build Treehouses

This is awesome...A German company called baumraum builds tree houses like these... Don't even act like you don't want one. Seriously... the builders who are getting forced out of business all across American should get crafty and do stuff like this... WHY THE HELL NOT???

the future you've been waiting for that you still can't live in.

with main stream auto design being as stale as it is, it's about time these objects finally come to life. most of us grew up being clobbered over the head with images of what the future will look like. thanks to places like MIT and people like renowned architect Frank O. Gehry, car's like this are being designed.
i was led to this car while browsing the smart cities site where they have posted the bit car. this is stackable electric car which will be placed near train and bus stops and places of high pedestrian traffic and you rent the car like a luggage cart at the airport. The best part is that the car re-charges once it is returned to a station. take that zip car
this led me to looking at other concept cars etc... with so much media attention to going green, it's nice to see design and earth preservation merging into interesting new products. now if they would only make and mass produce these things already...
here is a link to a cool pdf presentation of some of the concept cars and some running prototypes.
here are some more pics of other amazing cars. more details can be see at the ARCHiNODE STUDIO

And finally, I found this prototype doing a google image search. Not sure if this is actually from the same company but regardless, it's pretty George Jettson.
