Trailer Park Skyscraper


An architect in Brazil has come up with a new version of an old idea. A skyscraper structure that supports movable homes. Shaped like trailer homes we see in trailer parks, these rectangular boxes can be moved within the structure or removed to a different site. The designer even touts the idea of taking your own home on vacation to stay in. Check out the pictures, it looks a little like a giant Jenga game to me and we all know what happens at the end of Jenga!

We all know that "mobile home" is just a euphemism for "tornado trap" so I think I'll pass.

i wonder what a tornado would do to the skyscraper trailer park.
seriously, its an ugly building. and i imagine it would be expensive to move a unit in the building, and more so out of the building. this idea just takes a cheap living arrangement for the poor and tries to make it 'upscale'. it ends up having all the disadvantages without the one advantage($).
