By reducing the living box down to single modules, the user has the chance to generate a building based on their individual demands as well as their imagination. Within the framework of modules, size, form and consequently the composition of space inside as well as outside the living box can be generated independently by the user.

Life has become faster and many people are here today, up and off to somewhere else tomorrow. Mobile dwellings such as the living box, represent the equivalent of a first home and a personal space. This space satisfies a need for privacy and yet a contrasting desire to socialize and meet people. There is always a threshold between the exterior and the interior, the living box and its place it sits in – a city, nature or wherever the user wants it to be. Our design for the living box can be compared to a space station: a mobile dwelling with all the facilities and life support systems that its crew needs to survive in the severe conditions of space.

The skin of the living box possesses the ability to adapt to different realities. Physiognomic forms are not copied, but processes and structures of the occupants are transferred into design methodology. Form as such is subject to evolution the same as all creatures. There is no ending point to the progression or evolution of form. The result is a HYBRID which is a freeze image of one moment in time within a certain development. The LIVING BOX is comparable to the physiognomy of an earthworm. It has a basic outline towards outer space, but the rings and strips vary and create an enormous contingency of assimilation especially towards the inside. Depending on program the inner form is able to adapt depending on program and creates a variety of spatial realities.

Our design of the living unit is an assemblage of light prefabricated elements. These can be set up on site according to the need for special dimensions of living units. The elements themselves can be transported by common vehicles.

GEOMETRY
Different functions emerge, for example, an element appears from a fold which articulates itself as a table within the inner space. It is information, is expansion, deformation, individuation. Within human body the wrinkle is a deformed plane, which has evolved from physical and psychic information. The fold as such is defined by three dimensions x, y, z and the fourth dimension. Within time fold evolves, deepens and possibly disappears in the end. Developed space is not longer the extruded plan since the two dimensional area differs distinctively from four dimensional and time based reality. Folding creates blurring.
