The main concept of Modern Nomad is the rejection of permanence. The idea of permanence and place is a human adaptation to the environments around us from a nomadic lifestyle. Through this drastic change we have become comfortable in our surroundings, feeding off of our resources to continue to build and expand for our own societal gain. The consumerist mentality of throwing away the old and buying the new has severely damaged our environment. The importance of reusability, especially in building construction, is vital if we want to continue to live in the world we live in now. By stressing reusability rather than fixed compositions, art and architecture cooperatively offer various systems of replacing “home” in which sites can be reexamined, material structures can be improved, and inhabitants can come back into contact over time. To be able to go back to our nomadic roots and take our homes with us when we move can cut down the need to build more in densely populated areas while increased housing to adapt to the ever-changing population. This allows for cities that are fluctuating to meet housing demands whether through population decrease or increase. By creating an evolving housing structure tenant occupancy is fluid and allows for all housing units to be full, therefore empty and unused units are not a concern. People will be able to travel to new cities without being tied to one place bringing their entire homes with them. The sense of home remains while a considerably needed change in scenery can be achieved.
