MOST BUILDINGS AIM TO CONCEAL THEIR UTILITY SYSTEMS. THIS DESIGN CELEBRATES THE BUILDING ITSELF AS THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICE PROVIDER. FURNISHINGS AND APPLIANCES HAVE AN INHERENT AGENCY THAT CAN ONLY BE MEASURED IN CUBIC FEET
PER MINUTE OF AIR; THAT IS, CFM. AS SUCH, RENTABLE SPACE IS DEFINED BY THE AIR CONTAINED WITHIN FURNISHINGS AND APPLIANCES. THIS IS A RADICAL PROTOTYPE FOR LIVING IN WHICH TENANTS PAY RENT DETERMINED BY THE AIRFLOW REQUIRED TO INFLATE THE FURNITURE THAT FILLS THEIR SPACE; THUS, RESIDENTS PAY ONLY FOR THE VOLUME THEY NEED, AND NOTHING MORE.
EACH FLOOR IS A COMMUNITY IN CHARGE OF THEIR OWN LAYOUT AND GOVERNANCE; RESIDENTS DETERMINE HOW THEY LIVE. PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE IN AND LEAVE WHENEVER THEY PLEASE. THE COST OF MOVING IS MINIMAL; TEMPORALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND ECONOMICALLY.
