A series of cold, shiny, slender screens dotted around
the urbanscape where digital blueprints are sold.
For a moment, as the almighty consumer makes her selection
from a long catalogue of choices, the entire world revolves
around her. She experiences a surge of power as she swipes
her finger on a line of virtual shelves of stores, ready to
slip any digital blueprint into her shopping carts
through the Black Window.
Armed with 3D printing technology; with a single touch
on the screen, these shopping portals are ready to print,
fabricate and materialize any piece of products added to her
shopping queue.
Creating Mesh…100%
Adding Texture… 100%

As she waits for her snack to be printed on the spot,
she hooks up her newly purchased blueprints to her
cloud-connected home printer. She felt a sense
of control as she home-print only when needed.
This buying process creates almost no waste, fulfilling her
desire for a sustainable consumption and enhanced
productivity with her preference for a seamless
window shopping experience.
