Description: The city of the future consists of "floating shells". These are architectural membranes that function as a "multidimensional skin". It can inflate, layer, stretch and tear. The skin is a fluid tissue. The size of such a "canvas constructor" is potentially unlimited. Layers allow a person to penetrate through walls, ceilings, and floors. The shell can expand, creating additional spaces within it. Or, conversely, it can shrink down and transform into a suit. This technology has the power to transform architectural spaces of any size, from the design of the human body and the interior of a person's apartment to the structure of an entire planet.
