High Impact Design: Exploring the Human-Centered Design Strategies
In this webinar, KITE Architects will take you inside their Summer Street Support Housing project, breaking down the research-driven design strategies that help residents who have experienced homelessness stabilize and ultimately thrive. These strategies offer a path to designing buildings that help everyone, and reveal the hidden value of well-designed spaces on everyone’s well-being. We’ll examine the research around cognition and behavior that supports design strategies that promote agency, anchoring, social connections, and reduction of environment-induced stress. We’ll also explore how supportive housing is different from a shelter, transitional housing, or affordable housing. More than just a roof over someone’s head, supportive housing is designed with the unique needs of individuals who have experienced homelessness—offering stability, dignity, and access to critical on-site resources and referral services.
