The new nomads. Temporary Spaces and a Life on the Move.
Berlin: Gestalten, 2015.
Mobility is the new ultimate form of freedom. Freedom from routine, traditional values, and geographic restraints. Today's creative class thrives off a lifestyle that enables it to work six months in a sharde office in Berlin, spend the summer in a caravan in Chile, and show up in time for the next project at a temporary desk in New York.
This growing trend has generated visionary ways of designing products and spaces that facilitate a nomadic yet high-tech life. From a modular dwelling system on wheels to an inflatable classroom in a repurposed dumpster, this book compiles a wide range of flexible spaces an innovative technology, and by (literally) thining outside the box, the designers behind these concepts give poeple the freedom to call the entire world their home.
What might currently be perceived as an exception is rapidly becoming the rule. "The New Nomads" explores a phenomenon that has an imminent impact on the work of architects, city planners, product designers, and employers worldwide.
