A giant "digital cloud" that would "float" above London's skyline has been outlined by an international team of architects, artists and engineers.

The construction would include 120m- (400ft-) tall mesh towers and a series of interconnected plastic bubbles that can be used to display images and data.

Just what we need... NOT !!
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. Carl Sagan

I wouldn't worry about it,

Once they realise it will never be seen because of the constant low cloud and rain in London
they wont build it. :lol: ;)

Maybe they will project Stellarium renderings on to it thus allowing stargazing whatever the weather.
