Abstract

The project typology is transitional social housing for victims of human trafficking. Can a designer focus on location and connection to nature to best support and acknowledge the challenges faced in the process of reintegration into society? In this thesis, I will study the effects of utilizing architectural elements to best represent and support the transition of victims from captivity to social independence. Research strategies implemented include correlational research and logical argumentation.
