Mykos City is not a conventional building. In the spirit of Peter Cook’s Plug-In-City, the project is meant to be a concept of the future and a way to bring more quality of life back into the cities. The project includes apartments with plenty of natural light and green spaces as a retreat for the residents. Since the plug-in system does not require a separate load-bearing structure, it is particularly economical in its use of materials and thus economically and ecologically sustainable. The idea is timeless and not bound to one place, but a future concept for many cities around the globe.
