Defining an Architectural Syntax: A Supportive Housing Center for the Homeless

The aim of this design thesis is to search for an architectural syntax, a harmonious arrangement of parts or elements, that can be nurtured to realize a particular work of architecture; a transitional institution for the homeless. The facility, to be located in the urban context of Georgetown in Washington, D.C., is to include housing along with support program functions comprising a center for the homeless community.
