The biodome project shows that if you rely on plants for your oxygen, you suffocate. As conceptual art, I like this project. Hopefully it does create an icon for urban farming but I want to see someone make the effort to show what it looks like once scaled up to a functional size. How would it differ in other climates? Really work the calculations. You can use human sewage for fertilizer but you'd need to cook it in a furnace to kill harmful organisms. Where's their 500º furnace powered by solar panels?

I mean, really. What are you supposed to accomplish by putting a gas mask and a diaper on some guy who's then shoved into a bubble to lumber around and stroke plants? And what's with the talk about this thing supposedly enriching air with oxygen and purifying it? You think a few scrawny plants being constantly groped by some lunatic in a diaper are somehow going to work like a HEPA filter and produce enough oxygen during the day to make a notable difference? What really floors me, though, is all the New Age babble coming out of the people running this project. This is supposed to take the place of legitimate healthcare? Seriously? Urgh, I'd better stop before I go off the deep end. I’m all for blending nature with architecture, but this is a bit far out of touch with reality.
