Inspired by: Archigram's Plug-in City

Technological improvements have led to towers being built to incomprehensible heights. Construction is fast as individual pod-homes are replaced as easily as a battery.

Earth has a shortage of space. Plug-in to the moon!

Peter Cook, 1964

“The fundamental characteristics of futuristic architecture will be expandability and transience. Our house will last less time than we do, every generation must make its own city.”
