New Style Mobile Home

The mobile home

Today the political, economic, natural (earthquakes, hurricanes), and the increasing evolution of technologies (materials, communication, transport) contribute to change our way of life.
With the advent of new technologies such as internet, our world has increased. In just a few clicks we travel around the world by discovering new image atmospheres, new landscapes.
Software like Skype or MSN, we can live moments in horizons that are not ours, and we are sometimes unknown. All these developments, and the booms they create a highlight waiting the desire to travel and see the world. The quest for freedom, knowledge or the need to break with the current standards are so many factors that reinvent every day the term nomadic and we suggest opportunities for us architects to provide services, spaces for the nomadic life of a future trend.
The nomad, a heterogeneous family.
"He takes the day or night, that we say to him he s' cares, the Gypsy, the gypsy, the gypsy, the gypsy, you know not "


Despite great diversity, each is a clear idea of ​​the nomad. The Gypsy, the gypsy, are "tribes" which by their seniority, their culture make us perceive a very precise image. However, the nomad of the past is very different from today. But if their way of thinking or living is different in different populations, they have one thing in common through the horizons.
In the new nomads we can note the appearance of "globe-trotters," or "tourists". Namely travelers in search of freedom, meeting new cultures and new landscapes to create their own experience.
If the nomad of the past moving to survive, we can see today the emergence of a discrete group and its roots directly to the ancestor of the nomad. The nomads of modern times, them move around the world in search of contracts, money. Businessmen, diplomatic envoys, they travel by plane, train, taxi. Modern modes of transport for a similar purpose; "As a consultant, I travel a lot. For me one day banal contains 4 hours of travel. "
Trend in flux
For a long time, many architects have studied the subject. A greater or lesser scale we have witnessed the birth of the constraints of mobile solutions. These include the work of Kurokawa, Inspired directly from space capsules self-sufficient. Surprise of these cells by a futuristic style, and a small area which is home to many uses. The space is confined, it is necessary to optimize the maximum.
Indeed, as in each means of transport where man is seen live, every space is optimized so as not to restrict the user in its interaction with the habitat. Peter CookMember of the architectural firm Archigram chose to work on a flexible city. Interesting work on the movement of a constantly changing city, where our houses will last our homes tomorrow. The city rests on a vast web of concrete, which are grafted here and there of containers transported by helicopters. These modules are simple, attractive and easy to move now inspire many architectural projects, student rooms (Amsterdam), office or sitting area (shed banana).

Our ways of thinking differ at different times. Our tastes and expectations are contradictory and habitat mobile is not immune to our moods lunatics. For example, 20 years will leave a futuristic touch. The removal of growths and discontinuities come inevitably to forms that are intended aerodynamic. The movement is then seen as a challenge, experience, and longer spells speed with relaxation.

Instead the 60 most called for calm, quiet and reflection at the speed of travel. The shapes are more rounded, breaking with the brutality of the radical and futuristic forms. The change is evident not only in form but also in materials. One can indeed see the emergence of warmer materials like wood, and break from the austerity of the metal.

Today we try to push the boundaries of mobile housing, providing limited space, ergonomics is playing new technologies to increase comfort. But a new value is gradually appeared, integration in a given environment.
Indeed, how to design a peaceful life, if the environment in which we operate is hostile to us? The front is the boundary between our world and the outside, the view can not be based on mere assumptions. The concept of stealth Eurasia shines through its ingenious integration into our environments. Distorting mirror acts as a "body" is played in the landscape. On his way, the architectural lines of the street are reinterpreted in a staggered manner. Intriguing and fun, this workspace gives life to a new street.

A variety of habitat:
There are now many different habitats, can be integrated both on the seas, oceans, on land or air. They are gradually invading the different areas each time trying to find solutions according to the spatial characteristics of the environment. In a mobile home design, it is important to target the person. On land there are different types of habitat, those allowing movement (trailer, container and ...), and those that do migrate into a single city (aunt, cart, box, etc ...). In both cases, materials, uses, forms are different.
The mobile home on land, has two distinct categories: a trip to a city-wide application of materials, bending and means of construction certainly different from a trip to the national level. Containers, trailers, cars will prefer a nomadic life over long distances. The heaviness and strength of materials reassures and protects the space making it practical to pull, pull from one city to another. Instead cardboard, metal grilles, aluminum materials are poor, often collected in the streets, and of an assembly adapted and thought, give rise to habitat nomads devoted to a more modest target. This is for example the case of the parasite.

In addition to providing a space to a target in need, he will deliver a message of its operation and the visual impact it gives us. An accumulation of plastic bags are fixed to the allocation of homes to pick up a hot air, warming the space and blowing at the same time, the structure. The term parasite clogs directly in its relationship between the individual and his home. Like a parasite, is the idea to take advantage of a permanent resource of an individual.
In the same idea, we can cite the example of the Homeless, an interesting concept that meets the immediate needs of a nomadic life in the environment New Yorkers. Communicative and provocative, this project consists of discarded objects, metal or aluminum. Easily foldable and portable, it offers a life in constant movement on the scale of a city.
Habitats in the water we can take the example of Snail shell. Cylindrical polyethylene. Its strength and light weight allow it to be moved on foot, or float on water. Its round shape is contrasted with the coldness of the material, and provides a confined space but safe.
Conversely one can hit a target more easily, as with Antheneas. A concept that combines relaxation with the discovery of the seabed. Half house, half submarine found the idea to enjoy the marine environment, without damaging ecosystems. Built as spheres equipped with agile, generators, air conditioning, water system. Flotation ring outer circular building with sections of high strength molded polyurethane providing a spacious outdoor terrace and stable to lie, diving and store equipment.

Habitats located in the air nomads are virtually nonexistent. We will take the example of the raft Ebersolt grids for more than its technical usefulness. In fact this module fits more into the idea of ​​exploring a wilderness for the simple idea of ​​nomadic life. This structure carries through the helicopter, balloon and settles on the trees allowing for rapid mobility with ease. The module is fully open, and the surface allows it to remain stable in order to study biodiversity. We can consider it in that mobile home, or structures act as living space, but also work to relax . Just as the wagons or paperboard ply our streets offering habitats for poor people here, researchers are constantly moving over a wild forest.

All these habitats show a wide variety of mobile. The means, textures and arrangements are different depending on the utilities that want to do. The mobile home can also give a moral or fun. Integration into the place, the set of materials, shapes are so many factors that decide the lines of our project. Today the focus is on management of natural elements and outside temperature. The unit should only provide a more functional space, but comfortable. Natural ventilation, taking into account the mode of cooking are points that should be treated as the mode of travel or the development of the site.
Beyond these developments to improve life in motion, I found this structure that provides a living unit in continuous movement horizons and creating different atmospheres in our living space. The Man no longer needs this move to see the world, its space this model with its sandstone!
Finally do not do this, the future of mobile?
