Suitaloon

Suitaloon is seen as an extension Archigram’s idea of a mobile architecture. This inflatable suit or living envelope, that is readily available at any time or anywhere. It is based upon minimal or reductive dwelling concept where the components and the support systems are reduced to basic essentials/ necessities. The lightness allows portability of this wearable architecture. In essence it is a system to plug in and out that is wearable and minimal.

Suitaloon is a speculative design for a personal, individual and portable dwelling unit which may be ‘worn’ for transport and unpacked for occupation.

Each suit has a plug serving functions similar to a key. This plug allows one to connect to another Suitaloon or leave own house or pack to be collected upon return. When number of suitaloons are interconnected larger communities could also be formed.
