House of shmoove.

This incredible house looks like a big pile of squishy shmoovy awesome, but sadly it’s not. These CONCRETE blocks exist as an apparent error in render or something from what i read on behance today. Seems heady. All i can think is that there are no errors. I want to live here.

Fluff

Tried and true Marshmallow Fluff has to have it’s mention here. The delicious substance is so shmoove, it has not required a package update 50 years or something. You don’t need to market something that sells itself. Imagine a perfect world where there are oceans of Fluff. Where you could dive in, swim deep, and eat your way back to the surface.

The shmoovest way to fly.

This needs to happen more than any other innovation on the planet. Essentially, this is a concept for a giant balloon cloud that people would travel on top of. Literally, walking on a cloud. I guess this could be filed in the “why hasn’t this been done yet?” category.

On a side note: thecreatorsproject.com is a magnificent site that does a terrific job at pimping geniuses.

 

It’s shmooving.

For those that have never play with oobleck… you should put down whatever silliness you are doing and go make some. The recipe couldn’t be easier: cornstarch, water. That’s it. The amazing part about oobleck is the compound rides the line between solid and liquid. Sometimes it’s liquid, sometimes solid. And it dances like mad on a speaker.

You can even run across a pool of it…

In the house.

Apparently, it is possible to make a shmoove house. As demonstrated here by architect Greg Lynn, amorphous forms can prove to be unique when applied as blueprints for houses or gardens.

His forms have also been used almost as something like bricks to create walls that are more organic, free flowing works rather than your standard straight walls. It almost seems as though at any moment, all the building forms could grow faces, come alive and carry you away to a soft, smushy land.
