The Homeless Vehicle



These are pictures of the Homeless Vehicle from designboom.com

This was a vehicle made by Krzysztof Wodiczko in 1987. Wodiczko worked with a group of Homeless in New York City to create a shopping cart like vehicle that a homeless could use to sleep in and also use to collect bottles. It is an "an instrument of survival for urban nomads" as Wodiczko said. It was not made just a mobile shelter though, it was made to call attention to the rising problem of Homelessness in modern society.
