Finnish Designer Timo Niskanen was runner up in a design to design a shelter in a cart. It enables a homeless person to carry around his belongings with him and have somewhere to sleep at night. He got funding and has brought his design onto the streets of Helsinki. It is a great way to raise awareness of the homeless and hopefully provide impetus for some more permanent solutions. As a design though I thinks it is an elegant solution, keep an eye out for it on the streets of Helsinki. More at carry on.
