The Nomadic City
Planning for movement, livelihoods and belonging.
A settlement and service-network study exploring pastoral life, accessibility and spatial organisation through Physarum-inspired network experiments.
Pastoral livelihoods involve patterns of movement that challenge a fixed model of urban settlement. The project explores how planning can respond to this way of life through the relationship between settlements, services and routes.
Network studies inspired by Physarum inform an exploration of connectivity. These studies are translated into land-use, circulation and spatial proposals for pastoral settlements.
Independent research, network studies and spatial proposals connecting pastoral settlement patterns with service access. The proposals remain academic concepts.
