Yes. It would be nice to see drawings to see how feasible it is.
i've been telling all my friends at the coöp, while we were drinking our pbr, smoking our cloves, and rolling up our cuffs on our skinny jeans, while carefully untucking our trucker tees; man, if its one thing that Flint needs, it's a place for white, suburban, coke users, to dance. i mean the places they live in, shoot, who'd want to puke there?
nice proposal... though i wish somehow it was not so shiny, that the mirrored surfaces were achieved with water or light projections or screens rather than those machined supergloss surfaces i see in the renderings... flint is such a desolate place and shiny glass can look really nasty when not maintained...but a floating house like a ghost is such a poetic and appropriate memorial to what was once an inhabited city...
