Theo Jansen Creates New Creatures
Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist who builds walking kinetic sculptures that he calls a new form of life. His "Strandbeests" walk the coastline of Holland, feeding on wind and fleeing from water.
I imagine
Calatrava and Theo could work together on some amazing constructions.

Yeah, really amazing kinetic sculptures, aren't they? I've seen a commerial feature of them by Mercedes on tv some years ago and automatically fell in love with these graceful creatures. Jansens work is outstanding in my eyes, because for me engineering and art combined with evolution makes such an interesting trio. I bet it would be great fun to build something comparable and animate with SP...
