So moving buildings aren't exactly your thing, but you somehow need to spice up your boring facade? No biggie, FLARE is a modular system to create a dynamic hull for facades or any building or wall surface. Acting like a living skin, it allows a building to express, communicate and interact with its environment. Video, images and link after the jump...

I can't wait for every TGIFridays restaurant to start throwing this on all of their chains.

Doug,
That video my friend is awesome.
Or nature is, i suppose.
petey, I dig the hyposurface! are there any prada stores with that kind of facade yet?
this technology will be very explored in coming years. it has really big possibilities.
reminds me of those metal screens they'd install over 19th century building fronts in the 40s-60s to 'modernize' them. if successful, will probably generate many eyesores in a similar way.
