Refugees: people who have fled war, violence, conflict or persecution and have crossed an international border to find safety in another country”

The following program proposal focuses on refugees in the transition phase when they reach their new host country. With the rising number of refugees globally the humanitarian crisis is enormous. The need for services and dignified, healing transitional housing exists in every refugee host country. Honing in on the process in the United States, the refugee family or individual must go through an arduous process of vetting before even entering the U.S. The proposed design focuses on the needs of these refugees as they attempt to acclimate, grow and flourish in their new environment. By providing necessary services and temporary housing within the same building, the transition process is eased for an individual with little to no knowledge of their host country’s language and culture. Providing a safe place to heal and build community lies at the heart of the design contained in this program.
