    In a stunning example of biomimicry, Scottish architecture firm ZM Architecture have come up with a brilliant scheme to provide solar power to the city of Glasgow - and do so in a way that is provocative, creative, and aesthetically appealing. The proposal? To design <strong>Solar Lily Pads</strong> which will float in Glasgow's River Clyde and soak up the sun's rays, sending electricity to Glasgow's grid while also stimulating urban riverfront activity.
