Having furnished
oneself with a credit card, a mobile phone, Internet, a car, a human being has
become independent of distances, post, telegraph, banks and even job place.
Only the view out of the own window remains the same. And what must those
people do who by inner request or by business necessity have to change the
landscape outside the window quite often? One will either have to drag a
wheeled house or to nestle in a tent. But one wants to take to the trip minimum
things and to live with maximum comfort. This transformer house, the volume of
which increases 5 times after it has been assembled, can be a solution of this
dilemma. The house consists of 2 basic elements: a platform and a block of wall
panels, designed by the principle of “Matreshka”, i.e. when gathered
together the smallest wall panel is located inside the largest one. Totally
there are 5 to 10 panels in the block, which can slide out towards one or both
sides. The block can be manufactured in 2 versions: empty or with in-built
equipment and furniture, i.e. in composition of the module of 1 or 2 block
respectively. Wall panels consist of a metal frame filled with glass packets or
dead inserts, the panels can have an arched or a trapezoid shape. Thanks to the
telescopic supports the platform of the module can be installed on any surface.
Modules can be grouped together, and as a result we can have either a small
hotel, or a research station, or a builder’s hut.
P.S. It seems to
me that it would be a wonderful Moon station!
