An Opportunity to Conduct Case Studies
Cardborigami is a portable shelter that provides insulated, water-proof, flame-retardant and recyclable space with no assembly required. We will partner with organizations that have facilities where people could safely use our shelters temporarily while our staff provides connection to the resources people need to get off the streets. With funding we can finalize product development and conduct research by implementing case studies to study behavioral adaptations to the shelter and success rates of those we transition of the streets. We will then refine the structural elements of the shelter to improve the ergonomics of the unit, making sure that it provides a sufficient fit for the human body, its movements, and its cognitive abilities.
We have entered the GOOD + Brookside Food “Give Back” Challenge for $5,000 which will help fund our case studies. You can help by casting your vote here!
Voting ends Friday December 9th 2011. Please act now to help us gain a deeper understanding of how we can best help the homeless. Once again, you can help by casting your vote here!

”Like I say, if you’re going to go to my house or you’re going to call me, or you need to see me, please ask me how I am ’cause I got my problems. I need somebody to come and help me talk. Don’t give me nothing. I don’t want nothing from nobody. I just want you to sit with me. ‘Juanita, how are you today?’ That’s all.
New Logo for t-shirts coming soon!

Cardborigami will be pitching yet again, this time for only one minute!
It takes 2 people 30 minutes to complete the initial construction of a Cardborigami unit. We intend to include the homeless in this process because it is fulfilling and hands-on self-serving work that will encourage people to do better
CARDBORIGAMI™'s mission is to provide temporary, transitional shelter and connections to social services to help get people off the streets. Our vision is to bridge the gap between design and humanity by attracting attention to social issues such as homelessness through design.
