For my shelter project, I want to create a transportable shelter, including a griddle and solar power, and space to sleep. My targeted audience is homeless people in cities, and I want to provide stations around a city for portable shelters to be taken and returned back to the station or surrounding stations all about the city. I got this inspiration from bike sharing, heres a quote describing bike sharing,
"To be clear, bike sharing refers to rental schemes, whereby civilians can pick up, ride and drop off bicycles at numerous points across the city – usually at automated stations."
I want my shelter to either be pushed, like a shopping cart, or attachable to a bike. I could collaborate with the companies that do bike charing, such as Citi Bike, so we can combine our efforts.
More details on my actual design to come!
