Current research focuses on a practical plan to end long-term homelessness in big cities. The project is called the Material Dignity Infrastructure (MDI). It solves the problem by combining three physical actions. The system requires people to receive medical care and build healthy habits before moving into permanent apartments. This early health step ensures they do not lose their housing later. The architecture provides a financial model allowing cities to buy empty office buildings cheaply and rebuild them into safe, supportive housing. The project then tests this system like a strict science experiment. Planners must prove the health steps work before building more towers. The goal is to write clear instructions that turn empty office buildings into places that save lives.
