| "As inventor of the "SpaceHouse" I'd like to pint out, that the "SpaceHouse" is "relocateable" by heavy lift heliocopters. Main reason/purpose is to anable city planners to be more flexible then having cast in immobile heavy 'steel/concrete' composite ! " (Fritz Gampe 9/2/2004 2:31:35 AM) |

The reflexion off the glass atracts the birds. " (Christopher Thomas 6/23/2005 5:02:39 PM) |
