The Shelter was a design that was supposed to focus on the ever going need for a larger homeless shelter in Tallahassee FL. As part of my precedent research study I went to a local homeless shelter to see the living conditions, recreation areas, health rooms, and dining areas. From there the program was supposed to house 300+ guest a night as well as has extra room for emergency situations. Safety was also a main focus in the sleeping courters and bath facilities. New building envelope technologies were also explored with the use of pixel skin along the main street to display low resolution video advertisements in order to bring in revenue for the shelters expenses.
