MIT researchers have proposed to build a tourist attraction called “The Cloud” in London for the 2012 Olympics.

The structure would consist of two 400-foot tall mesh towers that are linked by a series of interconnected plastic bubbles, which would themselves house an observation deck inside and be used to display everything from Olympic scores and highlights to a “barometer of the city’s interests and moods” outside.
