Abstract
Today’s economy is based on consumers who desire services and goods to be encapsulated in a package of a total experience; all facets of the business must be designed to provide experiences to the consumer. The proposition in this thesis is that this economy requires experiences that include the idea of continually providing something new integrated with elements that are familiar. Permanence and agility respond to the familiarity and newness that businesses seek, while transforming the space that the businesses can use. Restaurants exemplify this need for permanence and agility as they are constantly in need of expressing an experience to their customers. This project is a mobile restaurant called Mobilité that moves from location to location after six months to a year. The space is created from a system of units that can be set on sites with different orientations and experiences that relate to each site’s corresponding context.
