The Blur Building in Switzerland, designed by MacArthur "Genius" award-winners, is built using water.
"Using various forms of water -- mist, dew, fog and drinking water -- as the substance of its architecture, this unpredictable building expands and produces long fog trails in high winds, rolls outward at cooler temperatures, and moves up or down depending on air temperatures. With computers adjusting the strength of the spray according to shifting climactic conditions of temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, the resulting fog mass literally changes from minute to minute in a continuous dynamic display of natural vs. human-made forces."
