Inclusive Living - Pull Out
My concept is to address the
current crisis of rough sleepers
around Westminster, London
as no one in society should be
forgotten, which is the case for
people sleeping rough. There is
not enough homeless shelters in
or around London that provide
a permanent home for home-
less people. Although there are
charities to help them, none can
provide a warm shelter for them
to sleep. My solution is a pull-out
shelter which these charities
can encourage them to sleep in
until a more permanent address
becomes available. As seen
on page one the shelters are
pulled out, shops that are willing
to support the shelters can
have the colour chosen to their
choice. I believe that although
people and shops do not want to
see people sleeping in doorways
this shelter can provide a more
private place for them to sleep as
well as it looking a lot better to
the general public.
