ON MOBILE CHILL SPOTS & DIY/CRAFT MACRO/MICRO HOME STYLES
this is me riffing off an earlier idea. I called it once, "palgather" or "friendround". First, let me preface by saying I love the idea of micro housing - you know, DIY and for people who don't have houses, safety
and or a place to get out of the weather and with a lock on the door e.g.
this is vital. Everyone should have the ability to say "I'd like to have one of these" or "live in one of these". Like a community vote in an NYC apartment living consortium - a board of residents, be them having, 0 dollars in their bank to multi-billions etc. there is/should be a board of residents that decides the matter...but just as vital, if a resident or would-be resident is not approved- they should have an another option to go find another community etc. Micro homes are cool in my view especially in the visual art sense/aesthetic. I mean, take for example, the shipping container style home- an "abandoned shipping container" that business may want to discard anyway, is now available- in fact there may be hundreds available in places. The thing is, shipping containers contain a ton of space, like a ranch-style house...One floor yes, but think also, of stacking these bad boys. you can cut/solder etc.
part of the container (the roof or ceiling) cut through this (partly in the middle I think) and eventually attach a ladder or mini step staircase to the above shipping container...so, two floors...or as many as desired. Imagine, stacking four containers on top of one another, or only two
and two on the sides like a semi-circle. Then, we would "mod" out the inside, putting walls in like hardwood construction of plastic, or stucco, or something like this- pardon me, I'm not construction guru as of yet. Now, with motor vehicles, we can "mod" them out too, mod being modular a 50's- 60's type idea where "things can change" or a changeable kind of design within a design? now, here's the thing:
motorhomes, vans etc. there will be excess because soon we will have driverless vehicles on the road, maybe in two to ten years....automobiles like motorhomes, vans could be hypothetically "moded" out in terms of spaces to chill, extra libraries, media spaces for people in cities and towns to go to stay in a space which has been abandoned and turned into/repurposed into into a parking space for moded out entertainment/chill/library/music spaces for example.
These "communities" might be then chaperoned of course - everything is videotaped/ recorded in real time, and put on youtube as well as given to all the intelligence agencies for documentation purposes/information/safety? purposes. This should be an option. Options are good. The more the merrier- best of all worlds.
