Plug-mobile

Year 4 Final Project

Flying Living Capsules (DS10, 2015)

Future Housing - Drone-houses docking on future charging towers

Future Housing Context

The project is placed in a dystopian world, where contaminated land levels have reached their peak. New Flying house typologies form clusters of drone capsules made of custom novel building materials. The new Towers, ‘Google Ghettos’districts, represent landing platforms for the flying capsules. Developed through a study in Minimal Surfaces, the the project offers mobile accommodation for the future dwelles.

Design Proposal

The future relies on flying houses. Drones will replace the need of streets, elevators and cable cars as they will be a reliant tecnology for movement. The future house relies on adaptability. The new proposed capsules will adapt to the users activities, need and budget by constantly changing functions and space organisation. Integrated smart technology will monitor internal systems, help harvest fog, grow its own garden and improve day light and ventilation. The new house proposal will represent a Plug-in modules that may be transported into the nearsest Tower to change, as well as allowing the users to chose the Tower which will serve their purpose (market/plaza/ office etc.).

The new house proposal will represent a Plug-in modules that may be transported into the nearest Tower to change, as well as allowing the users to choose the Tower which will serve their purpose (market/plaza/ office etc.).
