ATHENA

ATHENA

Fourth Year - Advanced Studio - Janette Kim

The Athena Project allows residents to move from city to city with their mobile micro homes without leaving anything behind. With super structures built in major cities around the United States it is easy to stay on the move and plug in whenever you need to. The Athena home features  built in aeroponic farming and water generation capabilities all powered by solar energy. No longer does the individual need to confine themselves to a singular destination.

Architecture at its core has two simple purposes. One is to create a visual landscape that sparks wonder inside the viewer, while the other is to respect and provide benefits to the ecosystem where it is built.
I graduated from California College of the Arts studying architecture. I am highly interested in material science, chemical engineering and the manipulation of existing materials through innovative fabrication processes. The future I see is not only formally and functionally beautiful but sustainable, efficient and accessible. We must challenge the possibilities of "now".
