    Elasticity architectural proposal


    Elasticity

    I like this proposal for mobile urban dwelling units. I’m especially a fan of any architeictural design that features cartoons.

    elasticity is a highly elastic spatial and architectural urban infrastructure designed to support flexible living systems responsive to both short and long term demands. elasticity can be seen as an orchestrated urban system in which competing and interrelated city rhythms keep the architectural urban infrastructure in continuous transformation and movement. These movements include: alternating traffic use cycles, advancing and retreating commercial infrastructures, multiple use recreational and leisure activity spaces; short, medium and long term residential living cycles and time-share activities. Play cycles determine the rhythmic patterns for the entire system.
