MAKE NO MISTAKE: Drones are coming, and they're going to change a lot of things about how we shape our lives. So why shouldn't we change how we shape our buildings to get ready for them?
Early adopters will probably buy personal flying vehicles in the not too distant future. Some models are being developed as we speak. Maybe an innovative architectural firm will even pitch the idea of building a 'drone-ready' condo tower in Japan or Dubai in the coming months—and maybe it will sell faster than we think.
CHARLES BOMBARDIER
ABOUT
A mechanical engineer and a member of the family whose aerospace and transportation company builds trains, planes, and snowmobiles, Bombardier's actually at his best when he ignores pesky things like budgets, timelines, and contemporary physics. Since 2013, he's run a blog cataloging more than 200 concepts, each a fantastic, farfetched new way for people to travel through land, air, water, and space. His ideas are most certainly out there, but it's Bombardier's sort of creative thinking that keeps us moving forward.
That's the basis for my Drone Tower, which would look like a futuristic condo building, with large balconies built to accommodate small electric aircraft or shipping drones. You wouldn't need to buy your own drone, you'd simply order a ride with an app like a taxi—and hop in right from your terrace.
