You have already done this, but I would look at some books on portable architecture and how it can be applied to the less fortunate. Might want to look at how cities can employ portable architecture to help the homeless, rather than build these homeless shelters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103629704706343282.post-54467729309951097512008-09-23T12:39:00.000+10:002008-09-23T12:39:00.000+10:00HOMELESSNESS- IS THERE A SOLUTION- ARE THE PEOPLE ...HOMELESSNESS- <BR/><BR/>IS THERE A SOLUTION- ARE THE PEOPLE WE SPEAK OF REALLY CONTENT WITH THEIR SITUATION.

I would research how they pattern their cities, what they centralize themselves by. So what becomes important for this group of people, and if it becomes a portable project as you are saying what do they need, and how big can it be. Is this something for one or for many, this could become a backpack or a "parasitic architecture".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103629704706343282.post-16307754515011474732008-09-23T12:35:00.000+10:002008-09-23T12:35:00.000+10:00Deepak, Great project!

Letting them create a sense of place. Or look up case studies that revolve around the basic needs of homeless people in a urban scale. i don't have any brilliant ideas for you, but i like where you're going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103629704706343282.post-12917435684618798952008-09-23T12:32:00.000+10:002008-09-23T12:32:00.000+10:00Deepak,I am not sure if you find this of interest,...Deepak,<BR/><BR/>I am not sure if you find this of interest, but I am interested in the numerous amounts of abandon houses. I considered trying to find a way to reuse these houses for the homeless. Perhaps one house could be segmented into apartments to help get people off the streets. I'm not quite sure how this would be funded and I decided to take a slightly different route, but if this is of interest to you, you might want to consider it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
