GMC's new concept truck
، ساعت
This is a picture of GMC's
new concept truck—combination vehicle and residence—for Los Angeles
called the "PAD." It is basically envisioned by General Motors’
designers as "an urban loft with mobility". While cars.com gives this an official "zero chance of production", the Institute for the Future (IFTF) sees it as a lot more realistic vision of the future than it may at first appear.
While
some may perceive PAD as a culmination of America’s fascination with
SUVs, IFTF’s Technology Horizons program which is focusing its research
this year on the theme of "lightweight infrastructure, considers this as
a viable lightweight alternative to the traditional home or apartment.
Moreover, if the concept embodied by PAD really caught on, IFTF predicts
the emergence of temporary cities; ushering in a whole new form of
urbanism based on nomadism and reconfigurable cities.
These
new infrastructure designs, according to IFTF, will emphasize smaller,
smarter, more independent components that can be organized in ways that
are more efficient, more flexible, and more secure than the
capital-intensive networks of the 20th century. Lightweight
infrastructure will allow urban planners to rapidly prototype new forms
of settlement as needs and constraints shift from day to day.
Talk about trailer parks the size of a city!
