The Snail Shell System:
I love this because it reminds me of a useful, serious version of that Halliburton bubble costume from the Yes Men movie. If I could get a hitch and hook it up to my bicycle, I would bring it everywhere!

Another project by N55 relevant to ecology is called LAND:
"LAND is constructed from pieces of land in different places in the world. The various parts are added to LAND by persons who guarantee that anybody can stay in LAND and use it. Any person can initiate expansions of LAND. The geographical positions of LAND can be found in Manual for LAND. The manual is continuously updated at www.N55.dk/LAND.html. A current version can also be obtained by contacting N55." More information can be found here:

Haha "One person can move it slowly, either by pushing it like a wheel, walking inside it or on top of it."
Looks like they really thought of a lot in designing the SNAIL, from showering to waterproofing to portability. N55's ultra-logical language is also very effective, especially in their example of people's right in the N55 manual. "...we can only talk about persons in a way that makes sense if we know that persons have rights."
These are great projects! Also check out "Walking House"
