-HONOURABLE MENTION of Street of Tomorrow Competition
The homeless are people who are often overlooked but stay on the streets the longest. Many of those who roam the streets are social outcasts, so REHOPE helps by providing them the opportunity to create their own value. REHOPE encourages city dwellers to walk by using point redemption method, points may be used to redeem for rewards. The electricity generated by the power-generating floor tiles on the streets will be used to power our pavilion. REHOPE can provide redemption for personal workspaces, smart career coaching, docking stations and other zero-threshold spaces, creating a self-sustaining system.
REHOPE can be divided into a fixed part, which consists of public toilets and a redemption machine, and an additional part, where unit spaces that can be redeemed. The unit spaces can be combined or disassembled through a sliding mechanism and smart partitions to meet different spatial needs. The pavilion uses transparent screen on the exterior of the smart partition as façade, which also can be used externally for advertising or recruitment information, and internally as a touch screen panel with a height adjustable table and a built-in keyboard.
