Efflorescence Homeless Housing Strategy
Efflorescence Homeless Housing Strategy
efflorescence:“the period or state of flowering”
SKETCHUP, ENSCAPE, PHOTOSHOP (2018)
The objective of this design was to create a better living space for the homeless population. Essentially, the goal was to develop a “middle ground” between temporary and permanent housing for homeless that fit better into the surroundings of society than the current homeless encampments.
The design for Efflorescence is inspired by the carnation flower. This flower has many layers, which the design was based on as the more private layers are towards the center and away from the public. One of the main focuses of the design was to create temporary housing that was not closed off to the public and helped bridge the gap between the groups of the community.
