Mini skyscraper flexes its muscles

“If architects designed a building like a body, it would have a system of bones and muscles and tendons and a brain that knows how to respond. If a building could change its posture, tighten its muscles and brace itself against the wind, its structural mass could literally be cut in half.” -Guy Nordenson, Ove Arup and Partners (now Princeton University / Nordenson and Associates) http://www.mit.edu/~ph_block/mini-blog/nordenson.html
