Urban Camping

by Andrea Kessler

The project deals with the appearance of urban nomads. Taking urban elements and transforming them into a 3-dimansional linking grid. One part is the accumulation of mobile living units, which can be moved to other locations, and are the "Parasites". The primary structure and its infrastructural facilities are linked to the building on site, its ground condition, culture, traditional architecture and urban development of the area. This primary structure has been adopted to several sites (LA, Shanghai, Sinai, ...), where the mobile units (with different sizes, for different needs...) can be attached and docked to the infrastructural offers on site.
