I really like this. It is very soothing.
There may need to be a couple larger rooms full of beanbags and incense. |
|
| |
Where did I leave my keys? |

Are the elephants above or below the turtles? |

Why rooms ? would not flocking walls be more versatile. |
|
| |
Can they be driven round like dodgem cars? |
|
| |
If the toilets , basins etc had holding tanks , they could act like Roomba's and head back to base Portal when full. |
|

//dodgem cars// The tradeshow demo model is equipped with steering vanes on the air casters and performs a computer choreographed routine over Bluetooth. This option, with its extra hardware and software, is available to the owner only after the signing of a rather lengthy waiver. |
|
| |
Otherwise, unlock the room from the neighbours, attach the supplied airpump to its distributor valve, and start push/pulling. |
|
| |
//flocking walls// requires flocking furniture : not out of the range of possibility, of course. |
|
| |
Where does the tapwater hook up? |
|
| |
^ Some of the rooms could be fixed in place or, as [wjt] suggests, incorporate holding tanks, with periodic fill-ups/empties. |
|
| |
//Where did I leave my keys ?// kitchen counter, next to the pastry dish. |

On Pill Creek in Cornwall, Richard Rogers put a house with
moveable interior walls, only the kitchen and bathroom being
fixed. So, not quite this, but a clear effort in this direction. |
|
| |
It could be difficult if a resident awoke in the night, only to
discover that the bathroom had quietly migrated ... |

Amsterdam has a whole neighbourhood full of flocking houses. |
|
| |
"Hi, boss. I'm going to be a little late today - the power went out while
the house was in night mode, and the garage isn't attached to the
street." |

In theory, the nouns "flock" and "herd" have the same meaning. |
|
| |
But the verb forms - "to flock" and "to herd" are quite different; herding implies compulsion, flocking is voluntary. |
|
| |
Humans "flock to a concert", not "herd"; crowds can be "herded", but not "flocked". |
|
| |
Presumably a flock of sheep is a voluntary assembly of sheep, whereas a herd of sheep has probably been collected by a sheepdog. There's no such thing as a herd of ducks, but a flock of ducks is commonplace - yet herds of geese are acknowledged as existing. |
