Key objectives for sustainability
In terms of environmental sustainability, the project is totally self-sufficient, as it is powered by renewable sources; moreover it is made with a sustainable material, in fact wood is an unlimited source if well managed.
Key objectives for aesthetics and quality
the project is carried out following the concepts of functionalism and essentialism in the elements, it is not possible to define an aesthetic.
Key objectives for inclusion
with the proposed project it is possible to go and give first aid to those who have remained homeless, allowing the reintegration into the social fabric of the aforementioned people, as well as the participation, in voluntary work, of the population itself, collaborating to allow reintegration into social dynamics and communication, absent in the life of a homeless person.
Physical or other transformations
Innovative character
it is an innovative concept of social reintegration, in which, through the capsule, it is possible to give initial assistance and reintegration into the social fabric of the individual. Being a self-sustainable capsule, it does not have any harmful emissions for the environment and its insertion into the city fabric is facilitated by its small size.
