Call for entires - 'Shelter in a Cart'
Design a cart that can provide shelter and storage.
For 2006 designboom started a non-profit-project : an international design competition under the title 'shelter in a cart'. The call for entries is now open. Participation is free. Deadline for entry submission is March 10, 2006.

The brief:
Urban homeless use carts to carry their possessions and to collect goods (like bottles, cardboard, etc.) that they then return to various recyclers in exchange for cash. this provides a small and valuable income. It is essential that your cart design not only accommodates all these functions but that it is affordable (for production and for private parties or charity organisations who wish to donate them).
