A cheetah, the fastest terrestrial animal, runs 120 kilometres per hour.
A horse can travel long distances at a speed of 88 km/h.
A dolphin can reach swimming in the water a speed of 54 km/h.
The flight of a condor reaches 6 thousand meters in height.
What if the spirit of the animal possesses the man transforming him?
By the year 2050 the city of Quito will be devastated by landslides and floods. Human’s interaction with rivers and gullies has turned them into enemies, to the point that constructions won´t last forever, and nature will eventually win… But what if it transforms our street design and mobility creation?
The integration of animal and human body identities will be the base of Wild cities connections within land, sea and air life. Humans and animals share much in common. Much of their molecular and cellular machinery is the same so why can´t they share to survive? The evolution of animal locomotion has been a continuous adaptation exercise and this time it won´t be the exception.
