Emergency Escape – Encrypted Nomadism

Because of Syrian civil war nowadays, refugees already over increasing and could not be accommodated anymore. Some of them start to cause some economics and social issue. They even need to fight for their life in risky way by crossing borders, swimming through oceans, and do some crimes. But after their struggles, now they face the pushed back, or even worse choice which is detention camp. Therefore they need immediate solution to help them, to transport them safely to their destination.

The possibility we think of is through air (since the land and the sea are very life-risky). Imagine that we could float in the air, inflate, and to see where you will choose to continue your life, start your new phase as refugee. Their journey is their destiny, unfixed, unset, with the wind as their direction, creating the nomad sky journey. Until they find a place they would like to start their life again. And if later they need to nomad again, they will inflate back to they sky, re-do their sky journey.

This is what we called endless nomadism, the only living way which could been happen to refugees, not everyone.

The map shows how the people inside the inflatable device will be distributed according to the wind and creates their own destiny

elevate people with the new ‘inflatable device’ as new transportation concept

Starting the nomadism journey, make the wind as their faith determinant
