Andrew Maynard Architects, CV08, the Suburb-Eating Robot, Concept, 2009 (via archdaily)
"Peak oil is approaching. In the next future, most of the oil-dependent suburbs in which we live now will be abandoned and decay, turning into ruins, inhabited only by the few ones who where too fat and too car-dependent to escape back to the city. Little by little, nature will take over suburbs, but this process will be extremely slowly. In order to give Mother Nature a hand, Andrew Maynard Architects have designed CV08, the suburb-eating robot. As it wanders through the suburbs, CV08 aspires people, houses and cars with its legs, and turns them back into nature’s products. Archigram‘s concepts, with a manga touch, together for suburbs renewal."
