In the United States, the population of homeless people increases every year despite government support. This is mainly due to the shortage of proper supportive housing, public indifference toward homelessness, economic hardships, and the absence of social policy for poor people. Additionally, shelters are stigmatized because they are often associated with crime, filth, and danger. Shelters should create an environment mutually beneficial to the homeless and the surrounding community.

520 $a In the United States, the population of homeless people increases every year despite government support. This is mainly due to the shortage of proper supportive housing, public indifference toward homelessness, economic hardships, and the absence of social policy for poor people. Additionally, shelters are stigmatized because they are often associated with crime, filth, and danger. Shelters should create an environment mutually beneficial to the homeless and the surrounding community.
520 $a This thesis will focus on how the built world improves the well-being of humans and how architecture helps alleviate the isolation of the homeless in our society. Specifically, I will discuss the results of research on homelessness and how that research can be applied in order to suggest appropriate designs for the Homeless Shelter and Community Center in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati. As well, I will analyze the environmental psychology and human-environment studies through many appropriate research results. By reviewing documents about the homeless and supportive housing, I will examine the effects of sensory experiences, shelter design and architecture, and space on homelessness and social isolation. This thesis is developed to investigate the impact of space on psychological healing via sensory experiences. It is important to consider how to affect behavior and mental condition through the quality of natural elements. This approach is articulated by critics such as Peter Zumthor, Frank Lloyd Wright, and others, who designed their architecture to heal mental problems through the pleasure of bodily experiences.
520 $a The process of the design is presented in my critical essay which covers homelessness, designing supportive housing, and key considerations that can help to ensure their lives in society. I will test the program by designing a homeless shelter and community center integrated into the community that better socializes the homeless within their neighborhood. Also, I would like to demonstrate the possibility of overcoming social isolation by studying humans' senses as the architectural language. In this thesis, the shelter and community center have architectural, concrete, and practical results which improve the lives of the homeless in Cincinnati.
