Tiny Penthouses is a mini-masterplan for city development ready for implementation. It adds adaptable living spaces onto existing buildings and urban fabrics based on principles of full circularity, adaptive architecture, and community driven design. They are made with proven 3D printing technology from recycled waste materials that can be continuously shredded and reprinted; they respond to changing contexts, constantly evolving into better buildings; and they fight housing shortages and breaking societal bubbles. Tiny Penthouses combines real and fictional content as both a call for and a demonstration of a 3D printed architecture that perpetually reincarnates into progressively smarter buildings.
