A Nomadic Future for the Walking House
From gypsies to migrant workers to families in RVs, nomadism has been a constant societal fringe condition throughout the course of history. While most people will cast aside a culture of transience in favor of the stability of the oh-so-popular permanent home, Danish artist collective N55 has constructed a mobile microdwelling known as the Walking House, in provocation.
A short video depicts the Walking House stretching its legs along Christianshavn, by Copenhagen's harbor. For more, please visit the slideshow.
