Robo Corviale Neighbors

A fun little project I did for an architecture class. My project was a science fiction story I created to describe the housing struggle in the modern metropolis.

In this robotic high density housing unit, you can pay as much rent as you like and the size of your apartment would respond accordingly via the giant robot controlling your building. So if you paid less than your neighbors, the machine would literally squeeze your apartment into a tiny box proportionate to the amount you have the capacity to pay.
It would then reward the rich accordingly, and land, even other people's land turns into the objects of bidding wars for the rich. The building thus turns into a system of capitalism and competition. (more) (less)
