Architecture Students Design Ingenious Shelters for the Homeless PhilaU fifth-year architecture students collaborated with Project H.O.M.E. to design and build improvements to Women of Change Safe Haven, which serves chronically homeless and seriously mentally ill women in Philadelphia. To improve conditions at the shelter, the Philadelphia University Design X Socio- Political Studio worked on state-of-the-art design-build installations for the sleeping dorm, community room and medical area of the facility. Collaborating with the architecture students, graduate students in the occupational therapy program at Philadelphia University provided research and insights into the designs, making the project a rich interdisciplinary experience.
