| dc.description.abstract | The United States is currently at a crossroads with providing equal rights to its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender citizens. Despite the growing acceptance
for these estimated 9 million people, many continue to face the challenges of familial desertion, workplace discrimination, physical/emotional abuse, as
well as sexually transmitted disease epidemics. The thesis demonstrates how the built enviroment can affect an
occupants perception of social beliefs through the use of didactic
architecture- a form of architecture that is built with the intent to teach an audience a lesson through carefully selected symbols and materials, ultimately swaying the beliefs of the occupant
in an intended way. The design proposal includes short-term
shelter for homeless youth, museum and educational facilities for the surrounding community, as well as an HIV testing clinic. | en_US |
