the miniaturization of living



Looking at the typical skyhigh living towers in the city scape of Hong Kong the reference to a bee hive comes to mind. Given the fact that living space is so limited in this city while property prices are going through the roof one wonders what next our developers come with : Cram more people in even lesser space ? May be the future of living in a metropolis would mean that we share space when needed in public areas, rent or lease anything we have to use, but don't need to keep and sleep in rented boxes like the concept design above - anywhere in the city. Perhaps that would also solve the problem of accumulating too much stuff during a lifetime.
