XMOD Shelter for Eclectic Nomads
Installation for 2008 Southern California Biennale
PHASE: Completed
Mod is a re-appropriation of an old idea, popularized in the 60s of creating new product from retrofitting an original product using customized parts. XMOD shelter attempts to reconcile the act of retrofitting and customization, which is commonly a post-construction procedure, into the initial design process, where different anatomic and pseudo conditions can be met through various ‘mods’ the shelter can manifest.
