# Webbed Architecture The GEOtube Office Grows Its Own Web-Like Skin (and We're Caught) By Brian G Randles | Published 2010-02-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-geotube References: [faulders-studio](http://www.faulders-studio.com/proj_geo_tube.html) The GEOtube featured above is what Peter Parker would live in if he ever decided to ditch his Aunt May, Mary Jane and his considerable conscience and get a man lair to lure women and foes alike. I take that back, this is what Venom is going to be living in. I really do promise that I will start decreasing the amount of comic book references soon. Featuring the amazing ability to grow a saline skin which would spread over time (think kudzu), the web-like design of the GEOtube comes courtesy of Faulders Studio and is meant to be one more sideshow of a building in the architectural circus that is Dubai. Crazy thing is that the GEOtube probably won't even stand out over there.
