Mobitecture – Habitat on the move

PREMISE
‘To live is to travel.’
Humans are nomadic by instinct.
In the broader evolution of humankind through time, the notion of settling down to make home and hearth is relatively a recent phenomenon that has created more problems than solved for the species.
Humans have survived in spite of many forms of climatic events, natural disasters, disease, and epidemics visiting us, making life and living fragile and impermanent.
This may often be resulting in the total extinction of settlements, forced migrations, and the need to make fresh beginnings.
BRIEF
‘Creativity is intelligence having fun.’
Here is a challenge for designers of all age groups, nationalities, etc. to unleash their unlimited imagination and creative abilities and marry them with cutting-edge evolving
scientific/technological advances.

Powered by hands, feet, propellers, sun, wind in conjunction with means and mediums mechanical, digital, robotic, or AI-driven.
‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.’
