    This is delightful. Less about pragmatics, really, and more about exploration of an idea to its most interesting design.

    Double duty when it's sunny, shade and a heavy breeze. Not the most practical concept (unless you're deaf), but a funny idea.

    What a dumb invention

    Lots of design projects on these sorts of sites are really academic projects. There's no invention here. This product will never come to market. It's frustrating to follow, as a designer. It shows how very little the people putting the site together are truly connected to the design world. They're not. Students send them their concepts and they regurgitate them wholesale. That's not reporting. A lot of architectural design stuff is just as bad too.
