Mobile Test-grid Platform for the Territorial Management and Choreography [Final Degree Project – ETSAM]

‘Very Large Structure’ is an habitable megastructure with high degree of independence in symbiosis with the environment that traverses, being able to physically manage it while travelling. In it cargo is uploaded and downloaded, buildings are constructed and tested, and different territorial policies and infrastructures are implemented and managed with the aim of achieving the synergic updates and paradigmatic changes needed for the 21st century. VLS it’s a theoretical-utopical project, an academic exercise,trying to be as realistic as it can get, and even though everything is technically calculated as if it was going to be constructed, we know and assume it’s just an assertive investigation. VLS is just an exercise to understand that there are so many things that architects can learn from, use and take into account to do their work.
