Philips Project-Our Future Habitat 2050

''Everybody wants the same thing,rich or poor.....not only a warm dry room, but a shelter for the soul''

Samuel Mockbee, Architect

I Survive

I have designed the Ultimate Designer Survival Bag/Habitat for our Future Habitat 2050. My decision was a very personal one based on my ever growing concern about the Environment in which we now live. Rising Sea levels,water shortages,pandemics and climate refugees are the main issues of motivation behind my concept.

If we chose to ignore the warnings of Economist Nicolas Stern's Report and current Governments in 2050 we could be under attack not by terrorists but by the forces of Nature.

Climate Refugees will not only be a problem for developing Countries but as we have recently seen in New Orleans it is a serious and growing problem for some of the richest Countries also.
