Bucky Fuller had the idea some three-quarters of a century ago to build houses that follow the sun, adjust to the wind, and otherwise move with their environment. The Dutch Situationists also had ideas about houses that could move, change their shape, their scenery, etc. But sadly, this type of both design smarts and creative whimsy rarely makes it into the marketplace. The only time we see anything like this is in show houses that pop up from time to time, like this one, designed by Rolf Disch, and built in Freiburg, Germany. It’s actually not new. It was built in the mid-90s, but is making the rounds of the blogosphere, thanks to a growing interest in alt.energy and “green” building.
