Amazing architecture: Floating building as traveling exhibit space
Leave it to Australian architects at Peddle Thorp to prove that houseboat architecture has come a long way. They're calling this starship-like floating exhibition space "Fluid," and once it's done showing off its beauty at the 2012 World Expo in Yeosu, South Korea, it'll be unmoored from its dock and floated to other Asian cities.
Check out the gallery below, and you'll notice that its interior is even more magnificent than its exterior, taking the theme of a whale to the extreme. We love floating buildings. Bring this beauty to the states!

This looks like the USS Voyager from Star Trek :)

I was thinking the exact same thing! It looks quite a bit like a Federation ship. Maybe we should get these architects together with NASA to build something for space travel.

Agreed! It looks just like Voyager!

Reminds me of the primary hull of the Enterprise-D.

Reminds me (inside and out) of the U.S.S. Dauntless from Star Trek Voyager.

It reminds me Miami got ripped off with the design of our new downtown art museum located on Biscayne Bay. This is so much more appropriate and I bet a lot less expensive. Our's looks like a freaking parking mall (http://miamivisionblogarama.blogspot.com/2007/12/mvb-public-finger-of-shame-points-to.html).
