Web Tree Visualisation

Tree is a web-site visualisation which featured at .club transmediale this year, with visually-pleasing results. There doesn't seem to be a way to navigate around the resulting forest, or save the data, which is a shame because it seems to be quite comprehensive and well-labelled. From the site:

"tree is a translation program. the simulation of real space by software as a starting point and basic question characterises the search for an algorithm (design specification) which illustrates a real tree. tree interprets each html page as a design specification; the html space determines the algorithm and generates the visual world of the translation beyond simulation."

Print Your Own House

Never mind 3D printers for medical prosthetics, or rapid prototyping for evolved robots - how about printing a row of houses?



Contour Crafting is a technology from Behrokh Khoshnevis at the University of Southern California which could enable you to do just that. The movies on his academic homepage are essential viewing.
