Created for the exhibition “Italy: The New Domestic Landscape”  held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1972, this mobile home has two basic principles; mobility and expansion. The basic unit during transport is contained in 10 sq. meters and expands to maximum of 28 sq. meters once it has reached its set-up sight. This operation is computed on all four sides by means of a simple system whereby the sides slide along telescopic tracks. Two people can easily effect the expansion without the use of any special equipment. All necessary furnishings are stored in the interior space during transit.
