“Design for Connection”
Research, Reporting06.23-12.24
Developed at as Design Research Lead at Human Studio
Architecture + Urban Design.
Photography by Michael Seehagel. White paper synthesizing cross-disciplinary research on evidence-based, trauma-informed design strategies for supportive housing environments. Outlines practical design principles that prioritize comfort and care rather than institutionalization, establishing a material framework for the aesthetics of dignity in built environments.
By examining how spatial configurations can either perpetuate or contest systems of marginalization, Design for Connection offers actionable insights for architects, planners, and policymakers committed to creating spaces that foster wellbeing for vulnerable populations.
