Layers of Sanctuary

Addressing the studio concepts of “sanctuary” with the use of AI tools, for my design project I have modeled a homeless shelter in the downtown area of Knoxville, Tennessee. My concept of sanctuary is defined as a safe place, a place of shelter, and a place of community. Creating a homeless shelter fits into this definition of sanctuary because that is exactly what these spaces can provide. Looking at designing layers and activating above and below-ground spaces adds depth and shelter to more spaces, maximizing privacy as well as quantity of members the building can hold. Utilizing AI tools for renderings and creative choices, this space reflects the conceptual design of a warm and comforting sanctuary.
