The project focuses on social sustainability and the adaptation of tent communities in Seattle, on all scales of the city. For people who become homeless in a war or disaster areas relief organizations will provide help rather quickly. The created safety net provides the homeless with shelter, food, medicines, etc. People in the United States are living up to the American dream. If you work hard, you are rich and successful. If you do not, you end up on the streets. There is no social system that catches you like a safety net. The American mentality states that it is only you to be blamed that you did not succeed. This results in very bad living conditions. Such as living in a tent community. This project provides a set of spatial conditions in order to improve the lives of the homeless people in Seattle.
