Shuhei Aoyama

Synchronizing Village

We decompose the elements of housing and propose a system to make people reorganize "home" by their own requirement. The period of dwelling can be a day, a week or a month, based on residents' choices. Decide what kind of home you prefer. With Synchronizing Village and a luggage, "home" can be produced in real-time anywhere around the world.
