In Progress - Urban Shelter Chrysalis
Speculative Architecture, Fiction
2020 Fall

Providence, RI
Starting from the scale of a young female, the shelter space is extrapolated in its size to meet her ‘basic’ needs - eat, rest and dress up. All the other activities are done outside in the cosummerist city.
For the rootless girl who is unable to afford renting an apartment, the Chrysalis Shelter is designed to be assembled and disposed easily - you can find a set in convenient stores at a good price. It looks careless, transparent and fragile, in the age when people care only about digital privacy.
The structure is designed for aggregation, and can fill up the gaps of the already crowded city.
