MAS responds to issues raised by contemporary
cities such as London, where our increasingly transient
lifestyles are resulting in more work related communities in
which living closer to the workplace and being able to move
quickly a predominant factor in our choice of the home. This
shift in emphasis will fundamentally change the way we view
our cities, which will need to become more adaptable to meet
short-term change in demand. This more flexible approach
will result in a less clustered, more efficient urban
environment.
MAS consists of two mass-produced elements: The
accommodation module, based on the external dimensions and
performance of a 40ft cargo container, and the core module
based on a 20ft cargo container. All elements can be easily
plugged together and taken apart. A specialist lift / hoist
is able to move individual accommodation modules on and off
the core tower so a standard container truck can deliver a
module without additional handling equipment. The
construction and finishes are comparable to a yacht or high
speed train.
