Nomadic Offshore Urbanism

"From prehistoric hunter-gatherers to modern Kyrgyzstan nomads, humans move to be in places where these resources are. Deserted company towns in America are emblematic of how contemporary populations are increasingly moving to where resources — particularly jobs — are located. This has resulted in a wasteful form of urbanism that is left behind once populations relocate such as the plethora of abandon buildings currently in Detroit.As energy resources have greatly diminished and remaining supplies are often found in remote places, Manuel Dominguez’s proposes a fascinating adaptation: Nomadic City. Mobilize our cities so they can move to places where energy sources are abundant.

The implications of a nomadic city to harness energy are many. Dominguez’s work features cities carried on tank wheels with reconfigurable characteristics. Residential units resembling cargo boxes fit into a matrix grid. Helicopters and blimps can land on and off the moving island. The Nomadic City compacts the lofty needs of resource extraction into a portable format."


The Petropolis of Tomorrow is a design and research project, which examines new Petropolises — cities formed from resource extraction — associated with offshore oil extraction in South America.
