Last year this mysterious mass appeared in a field outside Utrecht, a 2001-like monument to the region's new satellite city. You can pound your fist on it, climb on top of it, or dig underneath it, but it will always burn far more calories than you do. For now, the polyurethane-coated edifice serves a community of swifts that nest on the roof, but its builders had more than birdbaths in mind. Think, instead, of hot showers - 12,000 of them.
What is it, anyway? And what does it do?
