Indeed, 100r.co is probably my favourite place on the internet, but it does have the vibes of those 20th century architects with grand artistic and futuristic ideas that were not practical on so many levels. Not that that's any kind of failure, they simply had different priorities. It also reminds me of the gap between philosophy and science.

I deeply respect that kind of work too, there's a place for it, but certainly it is closer to art than engineering.
