I saw a DIY version of this at Burning Man the first and only time I attended, freaky then – freaky now, excellent video of BMW’s GINA Light visionary model, a morphing fabric car.
Knitted tank :)

Its not a practical idea yet (imagine the dirt!) but man it could be so beautiful
Gosh, fabric over frame construction…what a revolutionary idea (not so much) — go look at any early airplane. Aircraft have moved away from this for the reason that a stressed-skin structure is lighter, stronger and more efficient. Cars are not quite there yet, but getting closer. I don’t see the designer dealing with the issue of wind flutter or degradation of the fabric, the latter of which which is a persistent problem in ragwing airplanes.
