Urban Nomads

At the intersection of art, contemporary design, and social activism, Winfried Baumann’s ongoing Urban Nomads series has as its focus the harsh realities of homelessness and neonomadism, often in conjunction with issues of housing, food, and restricted mobility. Foremost among the projects that comprise Urban Nomads is Instant Housing, a collection of customizable and readily mobile residential units for those in need of shelter. Other projects in the series range from the transportable cooking stations of Instant Cooking to mobile medical care units and Dresscode, which considers the special requirements of dress for those without a permanent address
