how can architecture as a tool, be used to address Sudbury's homelessness and at risk indivuals?

homelessness is a complicated issue, but shelter is not. By relying on prefabrication and simple construction methods, quality shelters can be dispatched rapidly across a city. Hive presents itself as a Hexagonal Shelter that can be framed as a wall assembly on each side. An easier construction method that can also be disassembled, folded or stacked before being transported. The hexagon itself allows for the structure to be divided up into six individual panels that can be assembled with the help of two people.
