shelter in a cart



name of design : shelter on a piece of paper
design by : ryan mulroney from usa
designer's own words:
This simple, language-free instruction list is designed to overcome the main logistical obstacles that prevent the majority of well-designed homeless shelters from ever reaching any significant portion of the homeless population. The necessary materials can be scavenged relatively easily in any city and all of the labor is intended to be performed by the individual who will be using the shelter. The unit packs up for mobility’s sake and offers ample storage in both the mobile as well as stationary position. The instruction sheet can be downloaded as a PDF, reproduced in abundance, and distributed to individual homeless people in need, to the shelters that offer services, or anywhere else that may help.
