Entry Description

Wheelly: a new image, a new way to be called and looked
to, a shelter, a cart. Using a wheel as a CITY LANGUAGE, we
planned a 150cm x 40cm cart to pass every door and to
become a STATUS SYMBOL: as the businessman is the one
with the overnight bag; the homeless will be the one with
the colored wheel, no more a begger. Based on the ROLLER
BEARING TECNOLOGY, Wheelly is made with rubber,
aluminium and pressed paper rollers to be 100%
RECYCLABLE. The internal frame is designed with a
sequence of holes to hang a 250 lt cloth bag and daily stuff.
Thanks to two folding polyester resin tents the cart become
a PROTECTED AND INTIMATE shelter with an insulated
sleeping space and a collecting one where keeping staff or
recovering your pet. LOGOS makes the cart to be less
expensive or free and the opportunity TO BRING MESSAGES.
Wheelly is designed to COLONIZE AND LIVE ALL URBAN
REALITY on its own or connected to other identities to create
multible living shelter and unexpected colored allocations.
The project try to change and give a new point of view
about the homeless condition,by giving not only a shelter,
but even an chance for reintegration. In the morning the cart
helps in moving and storing, but also giving several occasion
for a job: playing instruments, selling newspapers, recycling.
During the night, becoming a shelter, it gives the right
privacy and intimacy that all human beings should
have.Stimulating Companies and Governments to work on
social matters, Wheelly not meant to be the final solution to
the problem, but to focus attention to the issue, trying to
tear down the wall of social indifference, fostering
integration, prejudice crossing and ensure a better life.
