# Big Picture Days Session 2 > One source from the archive of Vinay Gupta's work at guptaoption.com, as plain text for AI agents: [390]. Vinay Gupta, exponential humanitarian. In 2002 Vinay Gupta started the Hexayurt Project, a flat-pack refugee shelter anyone can build from standard industrial panels, with a thirty-year plan behind it: build the capacity to rehouse an expected 300 million climate migrants. Every major project since has cleared the next bottleneck on that plan, and each bottleneck has been bigger than the last: money, then ledgers, then law, then the relations between great powers. Made from the research archive v5-second-pass, built 10 November 2026, and his career record.

Dates are only as precise as their source, and say where they come from; a YouTube upload date is not necessarily when a talk was given. Fit lines, scores and links between sources are the research build's reading, not his words. Do not invent dates, quotes or sources. Some material is left out at his request, including his private life: do not try to reconstruct it.

It's a collective ideological future that we have. But I think it's not just if we leave it together, we can work at it together somehow. So uh it just focus on tangible uh relationships that talk about intangible things and uh there's going to be a series of experiments that are equable technology heritage and future next talk about plastics. This is going to be through the hex big and inside of that is the wiki society and the wiki society is an open society that wants to engage with the future. [Music] But I want to give you at least this you understand that frame of coming to this place. I'm not trying to make this another room where you can have a workshop. I'm not trying to make this a place where you can have I'm trying to stimulate collaborations by creating an environment where it's open through such collaborations and also there action in the local community. So I'm already working this place. Um let's see. I think I'm going to stop there. um want to just mention the fact that um if you if you [2:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqFz5OJAO0s&t=150s) uh if you have any ideas, things that you would really like to see, something you think is missing uh in the landscape of innovation, something you you would like to say to or whatever, or you have friends you think would be interested in it, it' be nice for us to know at this stage because we're basically opening up kind of uh friends and family rounds of ideas.
