Park Bench House

A rising star of
Australian architecture cast his Park Bench House as a simple,
temporary answer to the problem of homelessness in cities, adding a
lift-up roof to turn it into a weatherproof shelter, the Guardian reports. The design won
critical plaudits, but also caused a storm when Godsell entered it for
the Institute of Architects awards under the best new house category.

"There
was outrage," says Godsell. "Who did I think I was, trying to solve
homelessness? Of course, that wasn’t the idea. No one can solve
homelessness, it was just a response to the existence of homelessness."
