I studied the life of a rickshaw puller in a day to understand their needs well. He wakes up at 4am, takes a bath on the road, goes to a shack to have a cup of tea, picks up school kids at 7 to drop them to school(this gives him a fixed monthly salary), eats his lunch on the rickshaw, drops kids to their homes from school and finally sleeps on his rickshaw at night,11pm and next day he has to go back to his routine with the pain in his back.

The idea is to make it a transformable vehicle to in-habitat poor homeless rickshaw-puller and give him a better place to sleep and keep his stuff.

Mobile architecture is more than just an ephemeral solution for a problem. It is a genre of building that has been there, the prototypical human shelter that first established the human need and desire to make home.
