thesis proposition | Can a nomad live and work from place to place in an international shipping container?

thesis abstract | I claim the cirque du soleil can use 20 foot international shipping containers as mobile dwellings for their family while performing on the road. I claim the nomadicontainer is a viable option to the cirque in lieu of renting hotel rooms or dormitories as they currently do. The nomadicontainer provides its dweller "a sense of own". I will explore three versions of the nomadicontainer for the cirque. I will base my design on human scale and compactibility issues. I will incorporate and invent transformation in furnishing and dwelling space issues. The nomadicontainer will be completely self-sustainable.
