Hummer of an Idea

The Los Angeles architecture and design studio Hodgetts+Fung released a design for a ''Hummer House,'' a prefabricated micro-home made from the rugged sheet metal of eight Hummer shells, forming a ring of pod-like rooms around a central chamber.

Green design elements include ''optional geothermal storage tanks, photo-voltaic cells, and soy insulation,'' per the architects, who are known in L.A. for their work on the Hollywood Bowl and Egyptian Theatre.
