SOCIAL TOLERANCE ACCEPTANCE & EQUALITY 2

H A V E N Haifa Al-Bargi Instructor: Peter Wiederspahn Haven is a project that explores how architecture can induce social tolerance, acceptance and equality. The conceptual space of Haven is created by identifying existing social conditions, problems and tensions. The physical space of Haven is a place where social issues can be addressed through direct social interactions. This project will create a prototype for Haven that can be adaptable to any culture context. This project will include not only the design of architectural spaces, but also will develop a system of urban analysis to determine optimal locations for Haven’s greatest social impact.

- A variety of spaces that cater to various activities and capacity. The spaces can vary in scale as well as join to make a larger space

- Large space that can accommodate large capacity with strong differential in traffic. Space needs to allow for it to break it down into smaller groups

- Large space for masses with directed view. This space needs to allow for maximum capacity at one time as well as allow for individual seclusion.

- Large space for sharing and interaction

- Large space that can break into small groups

- Large space for masses with directed view or small personal space

PROJECT FUNDING: INSTITUTE TYPE TABLE Logo

Type of Institute

Higher Education

Private

Fund Title TIER 3: CRIP

The program provides support for development of broad, multidisciplinary research initiatives and centers that will position the university to become a national leader in an emerging or sustained area of research that responds to a national or societal need.

CRD Grants Program

The Committee on Race and Diversity (CRD) Grants are intended to promote diversity and inclusion at MIT. Community-based Initiatives Programs establish new or deeper connections between MIT and off-site constituencies, especially with those that MIT has not connected in the past.

ACLS Digital Extension Grants

This program supports digitally based research projects in all disciplines of the humanities and related social sciences. It is hoped that these grants will help advance humanistic scholarship by enhancing established digital projects and extending their reach to new communities of users.

Post Secondary Sucess

Goal is to play a catalytic role—to support the development of solutions that are unlikely to be generated by institutions working alone and that can trigger change on a broader scale. Our partners include highly innovative colleges and universities that are engaged in bold, systematic reform efforts. Some of our collaborators are wholly new entities launched in the past few years that are experimenting with groundbreaking new paradigms in higher education

Coca-Cola Foundation

Coca-Cola Foundation is our Company's primary international philanthropic arm. The Foundation was established in the U.S. as a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Foundations grants are awarded throughout the year based on our priorities, tax requirements, legal compliance and approval by the Foundation's Board of Directors.

GE Foundation

Empowering people by helping them build the skills they need to succeed in a global economy. We equip communities with the technology and capacity to improve access to better health and education. We elevate ideas that are tackling the world’s toughest challenges to advance economic development and improve lives.

Human LibraryTM

To give a voice to groups in the community that are stigmatized and to help bring about platforms that support a greater understanding of diversity and social cohesion.
