Reintegration Through Architecture: Using Architectural Elements to Support the Process of Reintegration for Survivors of Human Trafficking
View/ Open
Abstract
The project typology is transitional social housing for victims of human trafficking. Can a
designer focus on location and connection to nature to best support and acknowledge the
challenges faced in the process of reintegration into society? In this thesis, I will study the
effects of utilizing architectural elements to best represent and support the transition of victims
from captivity to social independence. Research strategies implemented include correlational
research and logical argumentation.
