‘ta đi ôtô’ is a bicycle that has been outfitted with a seven-storey blue metal framework, functioning as a performative live/work space. conceived by bureau A, the mobile unit is a response to the densely populated and built environments of vietnam. the swiss firm integrates various platforms at each level, in different arrangements, continuously reincarnating the design’s function–perhaps serving as a vertical street food restaurant, an ephemeral house, maybe even a stage or mini-concert hall? circulating through the streets of hanoi, ‘ta đi ôtô’ is all at once a fundamental form of architecture and showpiece, serving the social needs of citizens.

clever idea but Living and working? you can do neither in this piece of art.
O.K.
This is patently absurd.
Not only does it boggle the mind as to why this is being featured but it equally boggles the mind why this was done.
A waste of good internet time.
