Fast Future - Physalia
Belgian designer Vincent Callebaut has provided one of the most provocative conceptual designs we've seen in a long time. Collebaut's recent project, Physalia, is part ship, part lounge, and part water filter. The idea is that Physalia will cruise the waterways of Europe cleaning the water while offering a space for scientific research, a garden, a party, or a museum. With its systems thinking and far out lines, we think Physalia is a shining example of 22nd Century sustainable design.
