Objectives
The Speranza! projects are a collection of idealistic proposals in which architecture is used responsibly to create affordable structures for those in need. The overarching premise is broad, but the common idea is to act specifically with small scale projects that collectively make a significant impact for people.
Goals for the Speranza design for homeless accomodations include creating living spaces that will not only provide a place to rest, but offer visual, audio and light privacy, as well as provide secure storage for personal items. This will also offer collective spaces for eating and socializing. Because the building’s rooms are used during the day, the structures also need to be easily collapsible to make space for daytime uses of the meeting and exhibition room. Speranza is planned in cooperation with the Mayor’s office.
