A MASS HOUSING MADE SIMPLE
ARCHITECTURE NEEDS TO EMBRACE TODAY’S ECONOMY AND LIGHTING-FAST PACE OF CHANGE. IT NEEDS TO KEEP UP, TO ACCOMMODATE AND SUPPORT SOCIETY’S LIFESTYLE AND DEMANDS. THE PROPOSAL IS DRIVEN BY THE NOTIONS OF:
A GLOBAL SOCIETY THAT IS CONSISTENTLY ON THE MOVE FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER
A LOCAL COMMUNITY THAT IS TRANSIENT-FOCUSSED AND MAY BE LOOKING FOR A ‘BETTER’ COMMUNITY TO MOVE INTO FROM THEIR PREVIOUS ONE
HUMANS MOVE FOR VARIOUS REASONS BUT THERE IS ONE COMMON FACTOR: NO ONE ENJOYS THE ACTUAL MOVE, IT IS USUALLY ACCOMPANIED BY A WHOLE HOST OF PROCESSES WHICH INCLUDES ORGANIZING MOVE BOXES, LABELS, SEPARATING WHAT IS REQUIRED TO THE LAST DAY FROM THOSE THAT CAN BE PACKED-UP RIGHT AWAY, ARRANGING FOR MOVERS AND TRUCKS, HOPING THAT THE WEATHER WILL COOPERATE, THE CLEAN-UP OF THE NEW PLACE PRIOR TO THE MOVING IN, THE GARBAGE FROM THE EXITING HOME TO BE TAKEN OUT AND TIMED ACCORDINGLY WITH THE MUNICIPAL GARBAGE TRUCKS.
THE CONCEPT BEHIND THE PROPOSAL IS LIKEN TO THAT OF MASS STORAGE IN THE COMPUTER WORLD, THE USB DRIVE. FURNITURE, CLOTHES, APPLIANCES, ALL PERSONAL BELONGINGS ARE ‘LEFT BEHIND’ IN THE HOME AS THE HOME IS MOVED FROM ONE COMMUNITY TO ANOTHER AS A ‘PLUG-IN’. SHIPPING CONTAINERS WILL FUNCTION AS THE ‘HOMES’ ANALOGOUS TO THE USB DRIVE WHERE INFO IS BOTH CONTAINED AND TRANSPORTED. INDIVIDUALS WILL PURCHASE AND OWN THEIR CONTAINERS, THEY CAN THEN EITHER BUY OR RENT A SPACE WITHIN THE BUILDING GRID. THEY CAN CHOOSE AND PICK THE SITING, POSITION, LEVEL AND VIEW-EXPOSURE OF THAT PARTICULAR GRID. THE BUILDING GRID (STEEL) WILL HAVE ALL INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH AS ELECTRICITY AND PLUMBING IN PLACE AS A ‘PLUG AND PLAY’ OR MORE APPROPRIATELY PLUG AND PERFORM.
IN SO DOING, WE HAVE PROPOSED A COMMUNITY-FOCUSSED SOCIETY RATHER THAN ONE THAT IS BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL ACCOMMODATION AS IN A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOME VERSUS A SEMI-DETACHED OR A TOWNHOUSE. IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE PROPOSING TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE PERCEPTION OF REAL-ESTATE AND ITS PERCEIVED VALUES. NO LONGER DO PEOPLE MOVE FROM ONE HOUSE BASED ON BUILDING TYPE TO ANOTHER, BUT PEOPLE ARE NOW ENCOURAGED TO KEEP THEIR ‘HOMES’ BUT JOIN ANOTHER COMMUNITY. THE IDEA ALSO SUPPORTS A GLOBAL CITIZEN ON THE MOVE. A LOCAL INDIVIDUAL MAY WANT TO MOVE UP TO A HIGHER LOCATION FOR A BETTER VIEW. ANOTHER MAY DECIDE TO MOVE DOWN CLOSER TO THE GROUND PLANE AS HE/SHE AGES. NONE OF THESE MOVES WILL ENTAIL THE DETESTED MOVING PROCESS OF PACKING AND UNPACKING.
ARCHITECTURALLY, THE BUILDINGS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN FRESH AS CONTAINERS COME AND GO EVERY SO OFTEN. THEY ANIMATE THE FACADE WITH AN ARRAY OF PERSONALIZED COLORS AND SIZE. SOME SUCH BUILDING GRIDS MAY NOT BE FULLY PLUGGED-IN AND WILL THEREFORE DISPLAY POCKETS OF VOID WHICH WOULD FURTHER ENHANCE THE CHARACTER OF THE EVER-CHANGING FACADE OF THE BUILDING.
