Urban Shelter by Aldo Chaparro


Aldo Chaparro designed a shelter for the homeless out of steal. Not only does the shelter function as a place to sleep but it is designed especially as a place for street vendors to start a business, the triangle-shaped hut has a out folding table part and a place to store goods. The shelters are also designed so they can be easily attached to each other as to create a community. The Shelter is left in this public spot in the center of Mexico DF to be appropriated by anyone who can make good use of it.
