In order to install the Experiments In Motion model, the construction team built out this incredible moving rig allowing the model to be worked on at any desired height before it is raised up to its hanging positon and the table is removed. The installation is slated to be open to the public on Sept 15th at the Old Essex Market (corner of Broome and Essex).

About
Accepting our four-wheel friend as a prerequisite, the studio will develop new architectural typologies by imagining a different presence for the car. If the contemporary city up until now has been designed to the car's specifications of movement, then we will develop new concepts of urban motion that influence the design of the car.
