"Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown" won't be the first or last words on anyone's lips when viewing a mobile star city -- a sculptural element to be installed anywhere across the globe. Chinese firm MAD architects imagine a futuristic Chinatown as a mobile 3-D star to house 15,000 people and include lakes, spas, sports facilities and even a digital cemetary. MAD architects have dubbed the town Superstar, and in a press release coinciding with a recent unveiling of the design at the Venice Biennale, have announced that "the old China Town is a historical theme park that poisons the urban space. There must be a shock therapy to remedy this situation.”
