POD KIT

Which questions does your proposal address?

Some questions our project proposes are how we question personal space in a dense environment such as Tokyo. How we define personal space and movement through a pandemic is a question we tried to answer with our pod designs. We tried to question transportation for the future in general and how we can implement transportation of dwellings to minimize personal contact in states of emergencies. 

What Can Architecture Do for our Health? & What role must and should have the architects facing public health emergencies?

We believe architecture and design in general can play a huge role in how cities are shaped for any type of disaster or pandemic. In many large cities hygiene and personal space is an issue. So we believe it is Architects and designers job to implement ways to create healthy habits to solve such issues. The architect/ designer should play the role of a researcher to have a deep analysis on health issues is also very important.
