Center For Hope: A Salvation Army Women and Children's Shelter
Type
[Fall 2009] The Center For Hope project was an introduction to programmatic design and was the first to incorporate functionality into form. As a sanctuary for battered women and children, the design is an attempt to go beyond the modest set of program constraints to include qualitative attributes such as efficiency of performance, confidentiality and the safety of its residents. The concept focuses on security within the urban context in which the building sits, without the use of walls or fences. The design is nestled into the site, backed equally by a highway overpass and a wooded area. An outdoor gathering space sits close to the street, arguably the safest area on the site. The children's play area has been elevated and sits above the single-unit housing. This not only creates security without the need for walls, but also utilizes what would otherwise be wasted space.How the the surrounding urban environment is projected onto the site became of utmost importance on the design. The surrounding area includes highway noise, residential, commercial and industrial buildings and railroad tracks that are used frequently. Aesthetically pleasing views could be achieved to the south and the site is situated in such a way that it was possible to achieve a maximum amount of southern sunlight. Through a site analysis, all of the aforementioned were recognized and incorporated into the design of the building.The project was chosen by faculty to represent the MArch I program for accreditation.
