andres jaque architects: mousse city, stavanger, norway

the mousse city project by andres jaque architects hopes to provide a solution to the lack of adaptability in residential structures. the design consists of various sized structures all assembled together. bubble-atoms can be physically connected, disconnected and reconnected in different ways, and economically managed to create an on-demand spatial translation of users life. property is related to spatial units like in timeshare condominiums schemes. rights are not directly linked to specific bubbles. a community of renters occupy the empty units and are paid to move from one location to others to maintain the transformability of the system.
