Broissin Sci-fi Residential Homes

Broissin Architect Firm, located in Mexico City, Mexico has created many innovated buildings in the last several years, mostly in Mexico. He has been competing his architectural ideas for some time and won his current commission internationally. His work appears to look very futuristic and environmental. The new building the “Urban Shelter” commissioned to be built in Vancouver, Canada, as a residential building that holds clinging pods to the exterior of it. It is planned to be a 270 square foot aluminum pod, occupying up to 2 people, with all the usual necessities that a home would require. There would be solar panels on the roof and octagon windows to help energize the transportable units to the side of the building. Broissin definitely depicts a sci-fi notion of a habitation capsule. It is beautiful and cutting edge, it reminds me of the new Star War films. So, far the dates when thought to be constructed, is currently unknown. The pictures give you the idea of the construction of the pods and the building itself.
