Wall|roof|skin: can it (they) move|grow|live|change?

A roof that is growing a crop makes the on-farm building aproductive use of space, rather than a waste of arable ground. Green roofs also reduce the amount of heat-absorbing surface on theroof, making them the building below easier to cool, and thus more energyefficient. Green walls serve the same purpose, only instead of simply making up for arable ground lost bythe building, using their increased surface area as a growing medium actuallyresults in more productive area than there was prior to the building.

What benefits would a moving, changing, green skin bring? Askin that moves would enable the structure to expand its area to accommodatemore visitors, open walls when the sun shone, close them when the rain comes,the wind blows, or privacy is needed by the inhabitants. A structure that isonly as large as it needs to be, only as exposed as it needs to be, and only asopen as it needs to be doesn’t waste electricity heating and cooling areas thataren’t needed.

My concept incorporates the benefits of underground livingwith those of a moveable, changing structure, and a productive skin to make a building with the leastamount of impact on land, fossil fuel consumption, and the aesthetic qualitiesof the farm.

What do you do when you meet the one. No, I am not talking about the love of your life. I am referring to the one that has taken your spot in your ex's heart. What the hell do you do when you meet them? Beat them up with words, fists, or just use your cunning wit to degrade them. Nah, to easy of a way out. What else could you do then? Just like Johnny Cash said, "shoot off his ear!". Again, that will make him/her a marder in the eyes of your ex. Then again you could always just make a call to some foreign friends and have them run over his/her foot? I guess I can't do that since it has been done before... So literally you are stuck in a hard place with any choice other than smiling and waving will drive your ex to thank god for leaving you. So wha
