Interested in making design (of structures, furniture) accessible to the poor (not only American poor, but the worlds poor)
:: how can we provide homes to the homeless? living structures?
:: disaster relief structures? Mema trailer-esque
:: furniture that is collapsible - nomadic--well designed nomadic pieces--ie: cubie unit
what would nomadic life produce/effect?
:: isolation, lack of mature, long term relationships
:: a different view of the world--increased sense of connectedness
:: ability to quickly provide aid to those w. great need--and temporarily
nomadic architecture can just be a niche--a response to materialism (what is considered nomadic?)
tension between over simplicity tot he point of discomfort and materialism. i think both are undesirable
:: inspired by Ettore Sottsass: we can change the mundane by surrounding ourselves w. extraordinary objects.
Return to simple basics
:: Nomadic life would bring real sustainability/stewardship to the forefront--no trash pick up on the road, energy consumption.
:: ability and ease to attain "good" food, ie: not fast food
