BONOMIA | 2018
A Project for Homeless People.
This was one of my first projects on the academic path. The goal was to develop a "way of sitting", using a single corrugated board. It couldn't be divided into two parts, just making folds and cuts keeping the piece together. The choice of the target audience was free, I assimilated the cardboard material with the homeless. The object must be able to carry a person and present advantageous characteristics for the user.
THE PROJECT.
HOW DO IT WORKS?
IN WHICH WAY IS IT ADVANTAGE FOR THE HOMELESS?
In this case, the “bonomia” project has the main objective of improving the living conditions of people that lives in the street and allowing them to be protected from daily dangers, namely the fact of being mugged. One of the main reasons for this is that everything that has value such as money, clothes, blankets and food is, as a rule, exposed in a way that makes it easy to access. So, BONOMIA seeks to solve these problems, the focus of the project is to allow that in addition to offering a more comfortable way to spend the days, it contains a small deposit of coins where the placement of them is easy, but their removal become difficult and they are not directly visible to passersby. As well as, the development of another larger deposit on the opposite side, which allows the placement of food, clothing or blankets, protected by a cover that goes unnoticed in the formal dynamics and allows a safekeeping of the user's belongings.
