This project challenges the static nature of traditional architecture, embracing mobility as an intrinsic spatial condition. Constructed from repurposed automotive components, the Nomadic Unit redefines habitation as a state of perpetual motion—where living and movement are inseparable. Every mechanical part, from gears to structural frames, is not merely salvaged but recontextualized, forming an intricate system where architecture behaves like a machine, adapting dynamically to its environment.
The unit operates as an autonomous dwelling, its structure following the mechanical logic of interlocking and shifting elements. The design is informed by the rhythmic precision of machinery, where each part functions both independently and as part of a larger kinetic system. The result is an architecture of movement, one that rejects the notion of permanence in favor of continuous transformation.
Beyond its physical form, this project serves as an exploration of transience in living spaces, questioning how habitation can evolve when freed from the constraints of fixed geography. As a precursor to Tuplet, it investigates the interplay of rhythm, modularity, and structure—laying the groundwork for an architectural language where space is not only inhabited but also performed, assembled, and reassembled in real-time.
