INTEGRATED SHELTER UNITS

A reclamation of public shelter


Status: Thesis Project | Conceptual | Harvard University

Architecture and Shelter have an odd relationship; they are sometimes considered one and the same and at other moments Architecture transcends Shelter to become something else- a tool of power. How does it do this? Through ownership. This thesis proposes the reclamation of public shelter by inserting Integrated Shelter Units (ISUs) into the commercial ground floors of selected buildings in Downtown Boston, in order to offer privacy and repose in the public realm.
