All the walls on the top floor of a multi-
story building are fitted with wall to wall
large format inkjet printers. These are
mounted in the ceiling so that the paper
coming out of them runs along the wall. At
the bottom the floors are slit, so that the
paper coming from the printers may
pass
through the floor to the floor below. And
so fourth on to the bottom floor. There the
paper wil have to be discarded in some
way. Maybe collected and used for
heating?
The printers spew out a new design every
day, or print continuously but very slow.
World renowned designers could send
their designs to the printers via the net.
Feedback could be provided with
webcams. Or the walls could display
yesterdays view from the top floor (or the
day before yesterday, or the day before
that or last month etc. - depending on
which floor you live)
The top living spaces will be prized
greatly, by the fashion conscious
especially. They will enjoy their wallpaper
before those below. Or they could send
messages to eachother, like 'Barbecue at
our place tomorrow (please strike message
before your neighbours below read it)' of
'Sorry about the noise yesterday'
Some structural problems of this building
need some attention, the least of which
are sound proofing or how to support the
floors properly... Plus: no hanging any
shelves and paintings on the walls!

I have a hard time giving a bun to an idea that involves destruction of thousands of trees a day just for cosmetic reasons. Even with recycling, it's difficult to accept. |
|
| |
However, this is pleasantly eccentric. [+-] |
|
| |
All, right then. A proper solution to the
waste problem would then be a
wallpaper-shop on the bottom floor
where you could buy the stuff by the
meter. Or notebook-covers? Nice
decorative cardboard boxes? Placemats
anyone? |
|
| |
Get rid of the paper altogether and use wall-size LCDs. |
|
| |
Of course, if you do that, your idea becomes redundant. |
|
| |
I thought this was an idea about using moss for wallpaper. |
|
| |
Building's are sealed floor to floor with fire caulking so if a fire starts on one floor, it can't easily spread to the next one above or below it. |
|
| |
A giant wick running up and down the building could pose a minor problem. |
|
| |
Incredibly enough, I bet it would be cheaper to line the whole inside of the building with LCD panels for the same effect, over time of course. |

// A giant wick running up and down the building could pose a minor problem.// |
|
| |
So each floor could have its own printer which is radioed the signal from the floor above. |
|
| |
Use a rolling whiteboard, and draw in non-toxic markers. |

|
| |
I thought it was idea for wallpaper
actually being alive and moving. THAT
could cause some nightmares. |
|
| |
And according to my friends, I can talk
to moss and glow in the dark. Your
moss thing reminded me of that. |
|
| |
This could be combined with a giant lie detector polygraph needle thing to great effect. Hook the MD up to it in his top-floor office so that passers-by can look up and view the magnitude of his corporate lies that day. |
