Future Sleigh...by an architect

We bring you the second instalment in our futuristic sleigh series. Being as über-modern as we here at Club of Pioneers, we have decided that Santa's traditional sleigh - with all that un-environmental dead wood and the cruel treatment of his reindeers - is just not our vision of future mobility. We wanted something new!
 
So we asked a selection of creative types, from car designers, to graphic artists, fashion designers and tattooists to come up with a newer model!
They had just ten minutes to design an image of what they believe Santa's transportation of the future should be. Keep checking Club of Pioneers for our daily updates!
 

Our second design comes from Matthias Hollwich -Architect.
 
He describes his design as
"The SWARM SLEIGH - in the future more resilient
means of transportation will be enabled based on swarm theory"
 

 

Matthias Hollwich is the cofounder of HollwichKushner. Previously he worked with OMA, Eisenman Architects and Diller+Scofidio. Presently Matthias is visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania. His work includes the new headquarter for the artist Takashi Murakami and the Open Theater and and ECOBRAS econic museum for
Petrobras in Brazil. His work has been published in Wallpaper*, ArchPLUS, MAX, Bauwelt, Dwell and Architectural Digest. You can read more in our interview.
