The closer
you come to the center of a city the more difficult it is to find unused space
available for new construction, except perhaps at the cost of all-too-valuable
public parks and other civic places.Building above and below bridges is
thus of increasing interest to engaged urban designers around the world.

Like
products on shelves, this modular housing system is designed byh3ar to
accommodate homes that are plugged into a grid, occupied for a period of time
and then removed when necessary. Much like cargo container
architecture and other standardized systems, this design is meant for an
ever-more-mobile as well as increasingly crowded world.

The
location on the water is also no accident: multistory structures become much
more accessible by boat-borne cranes already passing along the river, or
modified container ships. Aside from a core steel framework each building
operates independently and can be pulled back out and shipped somewhere else as
needed.
Hoover:
Imagine this structure on the Pasig River... Perhaps in the future, this would
be possible.
