NOMAD ARCHITECTURE part 1

a thesis by Erik Jester

The occurrence of natural disaster is rapidly increasing in both frequency and intensity on a global level. This critical phenomenon will direct civilization's return to its "nomadic roots", resulting in micro-migrations within specific eco-systems. Technology and science will drive and enable the future of architecture to facilitate this metamorphose. Anew, humanity will begin to "roam" once again, in search of a more stable and temporary geographical habitat.
