Mobitecture – Habitat on the move

‘To live is to travel.’

Humans are nomadic by instinct.

In the broader evolution of humankind through time, the notion of settling right down to make home and hearth is comparatively a recent phenomenon that has created more problems than solved for the species.

Humans have survived in spite of the many sorts of climatic events, natural disasters, disease, and epidemics visiting us, making life and living fragile and impermanent.

This may often be leading to the entire extinction of settlements, forced migrations, and therefore the got to make fresh beginnings.

DETERIORATION

‘We haven’t inherited the world from our fathers, we are borrowing it from our youngsters .’

To live consonant with other sorts of life on earth and with nature as an entire should have come naturally to us, but that has not been the case. especially , the damage was done by the unprecedented pace of change over the last century approximately has brought us face to face with the precipice that we discover ourselves within the midst of.

The world’s urban population already at quite 50% of the entire world population is projected to multiply many folds within the very near future. As a species, a nervous one at the present , are we ready or equipped to face the challenge of this magnitude or is our response getting to be like always; finding yet one more solution to a drag created by a previous solution?

ISSUE

‘…. Progress is that the realization of utopias.’

We have the liberty to revisit the evolutionary choices made by our forefathers, we’ve the liberty to question the wisdom of our stationery, sedentary and artificial lifestyle that we are trapped in. we’ve the choice to fall in line with other sorts of life that inhabit the earth earth
and restart living consonant with the immediate and distant natural forces. Reality or Utopia?

The ongoing Corona Pandemic has brought into sharp focus the fragility of the human condition. especially , it’s reminded us of the necessity to be prepared for adjusting the way we live and organize our habitat, to be ever able to adapt to myriad challenges caused by the unpredictable forces of nature or by the self-destructive actions of humans.
