Elastic Houses

[Image: Maison elastique by Etienne Meneau].

Don't miss the maison elastique, or elastic house, a modular system of somewhat theatrical scaffolding, by Etienne Meneau – "made for those who like instability."

One or two of those might be fun to bounce around in here in California during an earthquake... Deformable grids absorbing tectonic shock. Popping back into place. Waiting for the next one.
There are some interesting videos on Etienne's site.
