Internal/External...

When looking at developing the module idea further, it become apparent that if I go with the traditional model of permanent core, with modules attached, I come to realise that they, like all module high-rise before, will become a stagnant thing.  
Once people have their space attached, they never want to move, they become settled.  So in order to avoid that and also to reduce materials further, I think making the facade and levels permanent, but to offer modules inside that are easily moved, and so with a cheap and easy way of stopping and starting living in each modules space, people can then move when they want to.  This then makes the facade a dynamic thing in response to the occupants, and also, with the use of strap-on modules, that element of physically movable modules is still there, be it on a lesser scale.
