Never mind What would Jesus drive; What would Yoda do if he had an RP machine? The building above is our closest guess.
In actuality it's a design by French architecture firm R&Sie(n) for a Swiss ice museum (which sounds only a little less weird than a Yoda RP house). The intended manufacturing process is quite fascinating: head architect Francois Roche managed to locate a special 5-axis CNC machine that can work a 5-meter by 40-meter area, and the museum will be constructed on-site, slice by slice. The raw materials for the slices will all come from locally-harvested trees.
When asked by a construction worker named Luc where to acquire the wood, Roche reportedly waved his hand and said "Use the forest, Luc." (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Environmentalist as getting more and more bizarre. Whatever happened to just not throwing your soda cans out the car window? They have turned it into a religion.
