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 infinite. Layers allow a person to penetrate into walls, ceilings and floors. The shell can expand, and then additional spaces are formed in it. Or, on the contrary, shrink down, and then it turns into a citizen's costume. This technology is capable of transforming an architectural space of any scale: from the design of the human body and the interior of his apartment to the device of the whole planet.
