WELCOME TO THE FUTURE GIBRALTAR
(Homelessness Challenge)

Somewhere near you, somebody right now, perhaps your neighbour or their misunderstood lost son; maybe your sister, your cousin or both, are struggling right now or have no place to call home.
Be it financial, physical or psychological pain, there is no doubt that many you know feel this way.

Misunderstood, judged, dependant, alone, everyone deserves help with finding work, purpose, happiness, balance, be able to learn, engage, be noticed and live in a safe home.
Not socially inadequate as you may think, they just need some hope, care, love, gain independence and find a place to call their own, because everyone, with no exception, deserves a home.
We have come dangerously close to accepting the homeless situation as a problem that we just can’t solve.

In the November edition of the OTWO Magazine we shone a light onto the very much misunderstood global socio-economic homelessness challenge. If you missed out on the first part of this article, you can read last month’s issue free online here: https://joom.ag/gHfC

In the 2nd part of the article published in the December edition of the magazine, we abandoned the generic, inadequate models of homeless shelter and pursued to develop a new model influenced by strong principles of seeking to improve where other failed in empowering the future residents, whilst giving due consideration to humanising the spatial aspect of the proposed accommodation concept with laying at the heart of this very concept.
Note: The site chosen was done so as an example of an unused, dilapidated building located in an area, which offers an opportunity for regeneration/rehabilitation and reuse.
