An Infrastructure for Restorative Justice is a proposal for an holistic, distributed, restorative approach to justice aimed at stemming the tide of mass incarceration that so disproportionately affects communities of color.
This design research project explores the potential of architecture, urban and interior design to bring about a more equitable society, and an approach to community healing and conflict resolution that makes our current carceral system obsolete.
The work is the product of the second year, second semester Design Studio in SVA's BFA Interior Design / Built Environments Program. The pedagogical goal is to encourage a new generation of designers to exercise their agency and criticality, and use their work to advance social change.
