Project: The GlobeTrotter
Architects: Office of Mobile Design (OMD)
Client:
Location: Mobile
Intent: A mobile, modular vehicle that can transform into a theater on any reasonably flat land intended for Shakespearian plays.
Features: A 12’ x 50’ vehicle contains a stage roughly the same size of the original Globe theater in London. Wing-walls flank the stage to offer lighting effects and acoustics. On the opposite side of the vehicle, 6 pneumatic “pods” are inflated for production offices, dressing rooms, concession and ticketing, and sleeping quarters for the cast and crew. The vehicle’s center acts as shower, sink, and production equipment storage. The seating is entirely inflatable as well.
Structure: The vehicle is based off a typical container, but equipped with PV panels on the roof for electrical support.
