Intimate, instantaneous, and nomad architecture. iNSTANT eGO is a concept dwelling that allows the emergence of intimate electronic space in the middle of the urban public space. Plugged to clothing, iNSTANT eGO is an inflatable cluster of intelligent tissue folded over, waiting to be unfolded. The flexible space starts out like a hood in a raincoat and it can expand to swallow the user as a whole.

Once s/he is inside, the user sees the confined space becoming infinite through the boundless realm of virtual reality projected onto the inner skin of the structure. The user can then travel into this infinite space by using electronic sensors that manipulate the projected images. Created in 2000 by Hyoungjin Cho, Rémi Feghali, Adrien Raoul.

A quick scan revealed a fresh new design we hadn’t seen before: the Nomad lounger is a magnetized mobile seating unit that can be configured in several different ways and used inside or out.

Indoors, the lounger comes with cushions, but we’re most fond of the outdoor version — with grass. The best part about the nomad is that it is mobile and can be arranged into a whole host of configurations (lounge chair, sofa, single chair, etc) Images copyright Amy Eckhart This is what Matt had to say about his Nomad: “The idea came when I was living in downtown LA in a loft. Matt Gagnon is the creator of the ultra-original Paper Table and the mind behind a New York loft renovation that may be the best merger we’ve seen of ecological thinking and inspired interior design. . + Matt Gagnon Studio. Nomad Design by ~graphibian on deviantART. It's My Hippie Kid In A Box! Ken Isaacs' Living Structures. Isaacs' Matrix Idea of building sustainable, eco-friendly, modular, flexible, multi-functional Living Structures which reconfigured the entire volume of a room [and were bigger than furniture and smaller than architecture] is the subject of his way-too-hard-to-get 1974 book, How To Build Your Own Living Structures.

[The book lodged in my brain because of the cover, which shows a happy hippie family--Isaacs' own, it turns out--playing on the veranda of a sweet-looking Microhouse, which Isaacs and friends built out of plywood and steel pipe in the Illinois woods.] The joy he found in becoming a father was undiminished by the fact that he and his wife Carole were splitting time between the Microhouse and a studio apartment in Chicago. To motivate the anti-consumerist zealot to build a damn bed for their toddler son, Carole Isaacs first bought a crib at the mall. Then she went ahead and designed the Josh Henry Living Structure herself.

UN v2.0. The Cool Micro Yurt For Your Prefab Mansion Pool Side. They say anyplace you hang your hat is home. But what if you’re like me and you don’t wear hats? (Not all of us have the cheekbones, you know.) Does that mean you’re destined for homelessness? No. It means you should check out The Nomad Yurt. As far as super-temporary housing goes, yurts are about the smartest choice you can make. Not only are they more unique-looking than tents, their name sounds cooler. The advantages that EcoShack’s Nomad Yurt bring to the playing field are a light but sturdy ecologically sound bamboo structure and its own beautifully sanded floor (very atypical for a yurt, which usually leaves you enjoying — or not enjoying, depending on where you are — the elements beneath you). This structure is 150 square feet of easy to install (if you’ve got help), easy to move and permit-free space. The downside? Forget the hat.
