Geoff Manaugh and Nicola Twilley
This studio looks to invert the question of urban mobility, asking not how individuals can most efficiently navigate the static map of the built metropolis, but how the city’s various systems and services, from policing to entertainment, can instead come to them. Through a series of case studies, site visits, and design challenges, The City of Mobile Services will explore the city of mobile services, from the familiar—ice cream trucks, food carts, bike messengers, and tow trucks—to the often radically unexpected, such as California’s RV pot dispensaries or mobile lethal-injection facilities in China.
[“Instant City,” Ron Herron/Archigram, 1969]
The ultimate goal is to add to the already rich landscape of urban mobile services through student proposals. What has yet to be mobilized, what would it look like if it was, and how might this de-anchoring reformulate the city?
