For a sum of $200, the ready-made home comfortable for two adults, with two doors and ventilation is ideal for camping or storm shelter from Cardborigami. These are made in LA. The origami-inspired cardboard homeless shelters are to help people get off the streets.
Los Angeles has with homelessness–around 58,000. There only Architect Tina Hovsepian came out with Cardborigami, an origami-inspired, pop-up temporary shelter. That is the first step on a better path to more permanent housing. That house can be dismantled easily.
The Cardborigami is made from corrugated cardboard, which is sturdier and provides better insulation. No assembly is called for, and after use, the tent can be carried as a backpack.
Utilising a grant from the Annenberg Foundation, she just purchased the first batch of recycled cardboard–locally made in L.A.–to start manufacturing. Soon the homeless are encouraged to start manufacturing the cardboards tents.
Tina Hovsepian is also working with organizations that are helping in providing long-term housing, like the national 100,000 Homes initiative. A whopping 610,000 people were reported to be homeless in the U.S in 2013.
Cardborigami tents are collapsible, transportable and origami-inspired shelters out of cardboard for the homeless and those displaced by natural disasters. Since inception, Cardborigami has grown into a non-profit organization and provides temporary housing for the homeless as part of a process to help them gradually overcome their state of homelessness. She chose the standard cardboard because of its durable structure and weather-resistant qualities. The shelter can withstand high winds and is flame-retardant. She is currently searching for viable water-proofing solutions. These tents have the recycling advantage.
“TransitionME,” is another four-step plan designed to lift people out of homelessness. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s estimate is $40,000, per shelter.
