What does it mean to live in the city without having a place to call “home”? What role do architects play with regard to homelessness and how do we make cities into inclusive and welcoming spaces? This documentary follows a conversation between Michael Maltzan and Alexander Hagner, two architects who have thought extensively about these issues, hoping to alleviate the stigmatization of the homeless in large urban centres.
