Private land ownership is something that most of us might take for granted, but it’s not the case in communist China, where all land is either state-owned or run by collective economic organizations (CEOs). But with China’s rapidly developing economy, skyrocketing real estate prices, unscrupulous “land grabs” and recent legislation towards a civil code protecting private ownership, the issue of owning land is in a tumultuous transition, prompting designers like People’s Architecture Office (PAO) and the People’s Industrial Design Office (PIDO) to explore different possibilities.

Their joint effort is the Tricycle House and Tricycle Garden, a paired mobile home and garden plot mounted on modified three-wheelers. Learn more about the project on TreeHugger.
