Flock House is an airborne habitat that imagines, projects, and adds another level onto the city’s skyline. On June 20, it will be a living prototype, inhabitants will imagine and experience some level of the capsule living in a future dependent on mobile cities (the flock house will have wheels on the bottom) while the elevated habitat will be able to cope with rising sea levels.
In 2025, the Global Urban Observatory predicts that city dwellers will reach 5 billion. New Yorker’s can: move to the water, inhabit Governor’s Island, crowd Long Island, and/or take to the sky. Flock House is a proposal for a space where “the sky’s the limit...”
