Skyscapes
Skyscapes are a series of co-working & social skyway spaces created as a part of a future casting report on social nomads in 2035. With the rapid development of technology and subscription-based living, there's been a shift in the way people live their lives. People are less tethered down to a city and can move from place to place with ease. Because of that, we started thinking about how in the future people with more nomadic lifestyles can foster a deep connection to their new and existing communities in such a fast paced world. These spaces serve as pedestrian-friendly hubs that are both modular & rooted in nature and community-oriented third spaces such as libraries and cafes.
