Archinect : Features : ShowCase: LILYPAD
LILYPAD is touted by Callebaut as a prototypical auto-sufficient amphibious city... a tenable solution to the rising water levels. In addition to providing housing for those displaced by the transforming land/water relationships, LILYPAD also produces sustainable energy for developed regions.
Interesting project. I'm always a bit worried with super structures which are not made of loosely joint small pieces in an organic way. Dinosaurs have disappeared because they were massive structure. In Malaysia, right now, there are big building towers not finished, massive concrete skeleton because of the turn down of the economy a few years ago.
Massive things get eroded like others, but the issue is that they are very hard to fix or remove when things go wrong. The superstructure itself is not sustainable.

BBC redesign: tellys have rounded corners, right? : Journal : Mark Boulton
What strikes me most plainly about this design is how the effect of a big, lumbering organisation can impact on a redesign. A good few months ago, or maybe years, when this proposal was first taking shape, it was probably the time when curved gradients, reflections and like were at the forefront of the ‘web 2.0 aesthetic’. Thing is, it takes any large organisation ages to get their shit together. Which is why designing to visual trends such as this is so risky. If your organisation can’t react quickly enough to keep up, then go the classic design route every time. If you don’t, your design will look dated within months. Or, in this case, even before it’s launched.
