At the world fair in Spain MIT plans to build a building that uses water entirely for the walls. Very cool, especially since the walls will be able to display text and images.

how would they secure the building?

it can drop to ground level when needed, basically collapse

I looked at the images and it appears not to be TOTALLY made of water, just a few pipes suspended and pouring water with a projector behind 'em. 0.o Would still be cool to fuck around taking pictures with it though.

^^ yeah really. And what if it got windy. And wouldn't it be super humid in that house? And ...

ok its just another advertising stunt, pretty neat though.

throw some red koolaid in the mix for effect.
