Growing A House From Meat
baosol writes "From the boundary-pushing team of archi-visionaries who brought us the fabulous Fab Tree Hab comes a new (and somewhat disgusting) way to grow a structure — using animal flesh! The In Vitro Meat Habitat is a futuristic concept home composed of meat cells grown in a lab. The creator of the concept, Mitchell Joachim, is a futurist with a twist– he says he is actually developing the concept in a lab."
I don't even want to write a long intelligent response to this. I just want to say WTF over and over again.
From TFA:
For fenestration, or openings of windows and doors, he envisions sphincter muscles that can open and close
Nothing like coming home from work to squeeze your way into a clenched asshole.
There's no place like Hormel

....just don't eat yourself out of house and home.
Does this mean the house meat eats for nourishment? If so - does it poop?
...looks to be well done.
The tastiest house fire ever!
I think ideally the structure would have a fur coat exterior or some sort of hide.
Good thinking! The vegans and fur activists will go around painting houses for free.
Join my new organization, P.E.T.H. People for the Ethical Treatment of Houses!
"Remember when I said I would never lie? Well, that was the first time."
Well, the real problems start when the house figures out how to feet itself, and discovers that there are great sources of proteine and fat directly inside it. :-)
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
that was the first thing i thought when i saw this during his TED talk. "godamn it we are not the zerg, take your meat house and get the hell off my lawn" what is worse is the fact that he tacked this meat house onto this talk about growing homes from trees that are guided into the shapes we need, so your house is a living plant, *and he tried to make the meat house sound like a better idea than the tree house*
I've decided to Diversify my Holdings. I've divided my cash between my left and right pockets, instead of all in one.
A house can be condemned because it does not meat building code.
