(project) PL works to create and maintain a modern space for displaced communities.
(project) PL works to retrofit shipping containers with solar powered wi-fi antennas, shipped with modular platforms, and used in conjunction with touchscreen computers to create community spaces for victims of disasters. Emergency housing has been well examined, but what about public parks, community classrooms, or temporary markets? They believe in the need for new physical spaces that reflect our new virtual and physical connectivity.
Communities are encouraged to take ownership of these structures by making them their own. PL is an abbreviation for "place," and (project) is intended to be replaced with the location of their use: for example, (New Orleans) PL.
