T A K E . I I is a transitional housing program that dedicates services to helping at risk homeless Calgarians at a second chance at life. Unfortunately, our homeless population are left suffering in inhumane conditions without adequate support. In order to tackle the homelessness epidemic, we must challenge societal misconceptions regarding these individuals, maintain compassion, and recognize that this could happen to any of us.
My proposal challenges traditional institutional designs to inspire confidence and motivation for self development, while promoting a sense of dignity to achieve humane design.
