The 6-square-meter mobile "egg home" in Haidian district, China, that made headlines last week. The home, which looks like a huge egg covered in small jute bags, uses low technology and low-carbon ideas such as turning solar energy into electricity. Dai, who earlier told the press that he built his compact mobile home because he couldn't afford his 900-yuan monthly rent, may have only lived in the unusual dwelling for a few days and actually used it as a demonstration of his design skills, according to New Express newspaper.
