The idea behind this project is traveling through Europe. The aim is to discover four major cities within the continent in your own customized wagon. One begins in Paris, continues to Berlin, Budapest, and then Geneva. Four skyscrapers are constructed in each of these cities. These skyscrapers are mere structures receiving and discharging nomadic wagons. The wagons are apartments. The structures are placed next to the train stations, allowing for a mechanism to pull the wagons into the structure and raising them.  Inhabitants have the luxury of changing every four months their point of view, and location.  The idea revolves around a rotating process, whereby each wagon moves to the next city, followed by another wagon taking its place in the structure.
