Reconstruction of Archigram's Walking Cities
The Walking City was an idea proposed by British architect Ron Herron in 1964. In an article in avant-garde architecture journal Archigram, Ron Herron proposed building massive mobile robotic structures, with their own intelligence, that could freely roam the world, moving to wherever their resources or manufacturing abilities were needed. Various walking cities could interconnect with each other to form larger 'walking metropolises' when needed, and then disperse when their concentrated power was no longer necessary. Individual buildings or structures could also be mobile, moving wherever their owner wanted or needs dictated.. Via: MKF

Carmagnolle Diving Suit
There was only one Carmagnolle diving suit ever made and it sits, unused, in the Navy museum in Paris. In order to cope with undersea water pressure the helmet looks like a giant insect eye compound lens with 20, small, round, lenses, one of which screws open to allow the wearer some fresh air while being suited up.
