Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's crazy drawings of flying objects, the world-renowned French arts group La Machine designed Aeroflorale II - an animated industrial garden that originally appeared at the Bauhaus Color Festival in Germany last year. Although it doesn't fly, the 18 meter tall sculpture is adorned with hanging flora, propellers, fins, balloons, and other interesting objects that give the impression that this unusual structure actually is airborne. More than just a publicity stunt, this project also has a wonderful environmental ethos. Hit the jump for more details and a peek at the flying garden in motion.
