Solutions to large scale problems, such as homelessness, are most often addressed by leveraging the power of large-scale modern tools. These tools include XXXL machines of automation, mass efficiency, and production, which work in concert to produce XL infrastructures of order (buildings) as solutions. They may address short term critical human need, but do not include a long-lasting means to build the individual in their processes. Through shifting away from industrialized XL solutions, systems of personal ordering, meaning, and empowerment can be developed at a human scale through progressions of skill acquisition to insight systemic change. Instead of proposing an infrastructural solution to the problem of homeless, this project explores methods of becoming and belonging through vocation on an individual level.
