Project Description

A Homeless Assistance Center in San Juan, Puerto Rico, conveniently located in the heart of the city, between the old city and the commercial district. The building serves as a bridging metaphor for the homeless toward their goal in the rehabilitation program. As the homeless ascend through the building levels, they enter the next phase in their recovery. The levels are divided into 5 phases: diagnosis, intensive care, treatment, workshop/training, and individuality, where the homeless is now ready to reincorporate himself into society.
