Capsule Living Trends oleh Everett Sinclair

Capsule Living Trends explores how ultra-compact living spaces can address the challenges of surging urban populations and scarce land. It examines the core principles of space optimization, sustainable design, and community building, showcasing their importance in contemporary urban housing. The book argues that thoughtfully designed capsule living can lead to more sustainable and equitable urban environments. For example, strategic use of vertical space mirrors how skyscrapers maximize land use, only on a smaller scale.

The book begins by tracing the historical roots of capsule living, from minimalist design to technological innovations. It then explores practical design considerations, including space optimization techniques and the integration of smart home technology. Case studies from around the world highlight successful capsule living projects, like micro-apartments and co-living spaces.

The book concludes by considering the broader societal implications, offering a framework for policymakers and residents to evaluate and implement capsule living solutions effectively.
