Industrial designer Julien Bilodeau at Astronauto realizes the importance of an adaptable and sustainable parking solution for future and present cities. Accordingly, they have come up with the Multiplier project, which is an innovative vehicle that doubles as a mobile, temporary and expandable parking structure system to bring numerous identical vehicles to a single-level parking lot. Composed of aluminum- and carbon fiber-built trailers, the parking automobile is robust enough to double vertically for accommodating other, outnumbered vehicles (as they are supposed to be, in future).

Use of vacuum bag molding and reused fibers, an emission- and waste-free fabrication process involving recycling of composite materials, and a strict no to down-cycling combine to bring an open and modular construction into existence. Each trailer comes attached with wheels and tractors to lend further mobility to it. The two-level parking structure connects and disconnects within a few hours.

Designed as part of the Period One Implementation Project, it’s ‘a stress reliever for a city that often feels personal mobility infrastructure strain’.
