Jan 29, 2009: Rolling Summer House

A Rolling Summer House? What the hell is a Rolling Summer House?
The Brits will have to explain that because I don't think this is a typical example.

In 2007 Charlie Whinney created the Rolling Summer house, an extraordinary spherical structure large enough to relax inside, but light enough for an adult to roll around a garden. Children can use it as a climbing frame, and it can be safely anchored to the ground with three child-proof legs.

There are currently two designs, both elaborate, geometrical representations of microscopic natural phenomena:
a pollen grain (4 metres)
a planktoncell (3 metres)

well, that's as clear as mud, but it covers the ground...
