Flux Haus is a parasitic housing scheme, which has been conceptualised by Kammil Carranza, Jitendra Farkade and Vinay Khare, that would engulf five towers in Hong Kong with single-person pods.
The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia graduates designed the grid structure covered in moving single-occupancy pods to be a "more dignified" alternative to cage homes ? tiny dwellings enclosed by a gridded metal walls and large enough for only one bunk bed.
Like other parasitic dwellings, it would be built on another building that would contain support facilities, in this case a housing complex in the Sham Shui Po district in Hong Kong.
In the graduates' vision, each of the pods would be powered by AI and incorporate swarm robotics that promptly adapt and create furniture, allowing anyone to occupy any space. Flux Haus is a futuristic housing proposal composed of a grid of moving pods
"This combination of intelligent machines and humans is an adaptive and evolutionary way of living," Farkade told Dezeen.
"As people change, so do their houses. The house understands the inhabitant and provides for their needs. So you won't own a specific pod. You can board any pod and that pod will adapt according to your needs."
Carranza, Farkade and Khare developed Flux Haus as part of the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia's (IAAC) Future House studio, for which students were asked to use AI and technology to solve the problem of space ...
