New York to Complete First Prefabricated “Micro-Apartments” This Year
- inetsee 11y agoThis reminds me of a concept from William Gibson's "Neuromancer": What were called coffin racks; frameworks to hold modular units. The modular units could be apartments, small offices, shops, etc. The units could be swapped out for other ones when demand for space changed. This also sounds like some of the capsule hotels near some airports in Japan, although the capsule hotels are much, much smaller. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_hotel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_hotel
