Coming to a city near you, a social amenity which reimagines the streetscape to accommodate personal electric vehicles and RoboBins–trash collecting robots which will take the trash to a waste-energy plant. Electricity from the plant is used to power work-cafes which double as EV and RoboBin charging hubs. Through a system of power hubs and waste-energy plants, the urban environment can utilize their waste to power the life of the city.

The project is designed for public use. People can come and go and utilize the charging stations, which promotes accessibility to personal electric vehicles.
View from the opposite side of the intersection allows you to see the frenetic nature of the area and the way the RoboBins would incorporate themselves into the urban streets.
Interior view of a study area in the building. Through the fading of people, a sense of life is shown in the space. The walls can be moved in order to customize the experience at this cafe.

The site map of the newly designed area shows how regular cars will be eliminated from the roads to encourage the use of electric vehicles.
