Pretty cool... Are you familiar with the work of Paolo Soleri ("arcologies")? He has actual structures built, although he has been working on them with others for 30+ years.
In addition, I'd be concerned with the power requirements for all those robotic city assemblers, plus the heat required to put the memory metal back into shape.

Beautiful - like spaceships/insects.
Hm the power requirements.. maybe there can be solar cellars, or energy from waves. The heat comes from the sun.

I wasn't really clear about what I meant... I was really talking about how efficient this would be, compared to other methods. Generating the necessary power requirements would give off its own waste heat. Not something you want to do if you take climate change seriously.

Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
