Take Action (events)

The Mobile Living Conference is coming to NYC in May. Based around the idea that mobile living is the future and around the designs of people like Adam Kalkin (whose shipping container house and push-button house have been featured here before) and TH hero Bucky Fuller, the event will offer a unique look into the way people live and work in the new mobile society. Running concurrently with the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), May 21-23, mobile homes, mobile phones, mobile computing, transportation, indoor and outdoor furniture are all topics addressed in the show, which also includes a film series, lectures and panel discussion and special exhibition components. Check it out to see the future now; check out the website for more info. ::Mobile Living Conference

I'm not buying that "The future is mobile." That young adults move about a lot, yes, but if everyone is moving about all the time, who is going to provide the infrastructure that makes things work? Who will grow the food, deliver the mail, teach the children, fight the fires, drive the buses?
