MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE:
"Costs of living have never been higher and mortgages are overwhelming. Viable living space is simply not affordable for the upcoming young professionals in most cities, due to an increasing population. […]
An increasing number of young professionals decide against a white picket fence with decades of debt in tow and, instead, take to the road embracing the necessary minimalism that accompanies living in a small space. […]
In the future, with technology advancing in humongous bounds and the need for human interaction dwindling, as seen with current ‘corona distancing’ and the launch of SpaceX´s Starlink (Mann, 2020), which will provide faster and more stable internet even in the remotest corners of the globe, the rise of mobile lifestyles will only be made more accessible, as a wider demographic of people are now able to participate in it […].
[…]
Sustainably speaking, the benefits are numerous; a small dwelling is often more sustainable as the inhabitants are more aware of what comes in and goes out -- due to storage, water, trash and energy being finite (and quite limited). This allows small homes to come with a certain restriction on the consumerist tendencies of its inhabitants. […]
Most inhabitants embrace minimalism and many employ zero waste tactics to save space. A study by Maria Saxton showed a 45% drop in ecological footprint after moving into a tiny or mobile home (Saxton, 2020). Many inhabitants opt for off-grid options to be able to park anywhere, even if access to water and electricity are non-existent. […]
Which brings forth the research question:
How did exploration vehicles become what they are today?
To answer this question, a journey back in time is necessary, to the nomadic lifestyles of the past, which lead to mobile houses of yesterday and the exploration vehicles of today. All of which will be compared and discussed, to then answer the question and allow insight into the design development of the Bachelor`s Project."
