The Cloud that Tweets
This is cloud computing on steroids. A real "wow". A team of architects and engineers designed a monument for London's 2012 Olympics. It's a landmark structure that their press release calls "A cloud that Tweets".
Structure
It's a lightweight transparent tower, composed of a "cloud" of inflatable, light-emitting spheres, that create a spatial, three-dimensional display in the skies of London, fed by real time information from all over the world. "A new form of collective expression and experience and an updated symbol of our dawning age: code rather than carbon".
Moving inside the Cloud will be like floating inside a three-dimensional display, animated by information feeds that could include energy use, spectator numbers, decibel levels, medal updates, transport patterns, mobile phone activity, Internet traffic, and others. "The Cloud develops our ongoing interest in the idea of the 'civic-scale smart meter', acting as a real-time feedback loop on collective urban activity".
Social crowdfunding
The size of the Cloud will not be set in advance, but it will evolve based on the level of contributions received. The global "cloudraising" effort will be supported by platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Google will provide advertising on YouTube and in search results.
Energy
The Cloud will also be "a vast, collective energy-harvesting effort". People can choose to ascend the Cloud on foot or bicycle; the energy that it would take to descend the Cloud is converted, on the way down, into electricity through elevators with regenerative breaking, similar to those that are present in hybrid cars.
"The people's energy, coupled with solar energy collected through on-site and off-site photovoltaic cells and various energy saving strategies will allow us to reach carbon neutrality, whereby the Cloud produces all the energy it uses."
Let's hope this is an initiative that will actually materialize.
