Goodwin House, a place for healing.

Abstract

The following report is excerpted from a senior thesis project prepared by Kirstin Shank. For her thesis, Shank produced an exceptionally thorough and thoughtful proposal for a home for people living with AIDS and HIV. The specifics of her plan may not be easily translated for all such centers, but her holistic approach to designing a therapeutic environment can indeed serve as a models for designers across the country grappling with similar challenges.
