Transition

The concept of this design revolves around the idea that transitioning to a new environment happens gradually.Therefore, the building is divided between two main communities, the permanent and the emergency, with transitional units integrated in both. By establishing two different communities, families are exposed to other residents with the same mindset and situation which allows for a better feeling of comfort. However, at the center, there exists a bridge meant to serve as community outreach which will enable families to gather, regardless of the situation, and interact even with members outside the Hostelle. This outreach is meant to encourage social transition and personal growth through the help of a community.
