What sets their boxy designs apart from the rest is that they are able to move around! The concept that Jagne Faltmilton proposed includes [rolling buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-system) that utlize existing rail roads. Along with housing, a [rolling hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina-foldable-trailer), public bath and even a concert hall was included. **Implications** - Portability is a key feature that consumers are always looking for within new products. The ability for a company to promote products that are easily transported -- like these [moveable city designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-house-of-wheels) -- show a recognition of the consumer desire to be on the go. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rolling Architecture:** Innovative architectural designs with the capability to move are disrupting the traditional concept of static buildings, paving the way for a new kind of construction. - **Portable Infrastructure:** The emergence of portable and movable infrastructure provides new opportunities for industries reliant on static structures like construction, hospitality and transportation. - **Mobility in Urban Planning:** The incorporation of mobility and flexibility in city planning processes opens a new door for urban planners to design dynamic, adaptable and convenient cities for modern living. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Architects can redefine traditional building designs by incorporating innovations such as moveable structures and drive a new approach towards sustainable living. - **Construction:** The development of moveable infrastructure offers the potential of reducing construction costs while providing efficient and eco-friendly methods that can be applied in construction projects. - **Hospitality:** The introduction of moveable hotels and accommodation facilities can provide a solution to meeting the evolving needs of modern-day travellers, especially during events or festivals requiring temporary infrastructure. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Sleek Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinity-mobile-architecture-system.md) - [Mechanical Legged Mobile Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-home-concept.md) - [Mobile Urban Greenhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sementeira-ambulante.md) - [Recycled Plastic Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mast.md) - [Dynamic Moving-Illusion Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture.md) - [Upcoming Architectural Floating Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/centroparco.md) - [Biodiverse Floating Housing Developments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-neighborhood.md) - [Compact Mobile Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castillo-mobile-office.md) - [Harbor-Inspired Storage Trolleys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harbor-051.md)
