Flare Facade is a ‘Living Skin’ for Building Exteriors

This Flare Facade is a fancy building exterior that allows it to “express, communicate and interact with its environment.” It’s certainly neat looking, but it doesn’t seem to have any, you know, practical application. I wonder if it would be possible to stick solar panels on these and have them automatically tilt towards the sun. That would allow them to keep being all neat-looking while also serving a purpose to justify their undoubtedly expensive installation costs. [Flare Facade via MAKE]

    So who the hell would put these on a building…you know, aside from Cyberdyne?
