Unbuilt Folio: five proposals for things that don’t exist yet
Melbourne-based Bud Jayawardhana presents five concept designs, each pairing a practical premise with drawings, operating details, and notes on what stands in the way.
- For
- Readers of speculative design and infrastructure
- Worth noticing
- The folios pair their premises with operating figures, including an 82 km sea crossing and a 7 cm laundry-bay pitch.
Field notes
Each folio connects a system-level idea to concrete operating details: the power-ring proposal names sea crossings and transmission voltages, while the laundry concept specifies bay spacing and water use. Other proposals address household data staying on a cartridge, alarms shared within a street, and remote fire response. The site states that these are concepts rather than products; the supplied material does not show testing or implementation.
