Why are we moving forward at snails pace when it comes to accommodation.
If you look at the accommodation that is available to live in today, it varies very little from the accommodation that was available ten years ago or even 50 years ago.
For how many other matters that affect our lives so intimately can we say the same thing?
We don’t make cars the way we made them 50 years ago.
We don’t make boats the way we made them 50 years ago.
Yet when it comes to accommodation, where are the rapid build systems that modern technology could devise? Where can you buy accommodation ‘of the peg’?
Perhaps it is the architects who are so proud of their traditional building techniques that they do not want to change.
Perhaps it is the town planners who are resisting change.
Perhaps it is the government’s that feel that just bumbling along is safer than making radical change.
Yet, in the Western World, lots of people are desperate for decent accommodation. In the Third World, it is even worse.
Why can’t we go to a retail outlet to buy our accommodation in the knowledge that it will be delivered to our plot of land within, say, two weeks?
Why can’t we choose from a hundred exciting, innovative and intriguing options when we go to an accommodation shop?
In my opinion, it’s time that the whole subject of accommodation and living design is given a radical rethink.
Just my opinion, of course
