This project is for:

1. PEOPLE

2. ECONOMIC BENEFITSa.Studies show not only in theory, but also in practice that providing permanent supportive housing to the homeless community saves taxpayers’ money:

i. Health care costs are reduced by 59%. ii. Emergency room costs are decreased by 61%. iii. General inpatient hospitalizations are decreased by 77%.

b. Formerly homeless individuals are more receptive to interventions and services after living in a permanent, supportive housing because, for many, having a place to call home reduces stress and symptoms related to mental health or substance abuse disorders.

c. For community members who need assistance with medical and/or psychosocial issues, permanent supportive housing is often the only successful approach to end homelessness.

d.Safe and permanent housing can give residents the stability they need to organize their lives and their health.

OCCUPANT PROFILE:

respondents of the 2011Point-in-Time survey are considered chronically homeless according to HUD’s definition.

SITE SELECTION1512 - 1514 CURTIS STREET, DENVER COLORADO

CORE COMPLEX

Whether on foot, by car, by light rail or by flight, Denver is easy to get to and around! Denver’s grid-like city structure makes most routes easy to navigate. Public transportation within Denver includes affordable and convenient light rail and bus systems with various routes and pick-up times. These modes of transportation are accessible by accommodating mobility needs for disabled persons

With an altitude an exactly one mile high – 5,280 feet above sea level, Denver is known for being “Mild at Mile High”. Denver residents almost always enjoy a pleasant forecast as Colorado sees more than 300 days of sunshine each year. With a semi-arid climate, winters are typically mild with an average daily high temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Colorado is also known for its highly variable weather. While Colorado has been known to have a blizzard or two, it is not common for the temperature to reach a high of 60 degrees during the winter months. On the other hand, because of all the sunshine, snow melts quickly, especially when it comes in months as late as May!

Summers in Colorado are filled with sunny days and comfortable evenings. Although Colorado frequently sees afternoon showers in the summer, residents enjoy relatively low humidity. The average high daily temperature in August is 86 degrees Farenheit.

HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE

Baur’s Store c. 1900’s, founded by german immigrant, Otto P. Baur

Built in 1881by architect Leonard Cutshaw, home of Baur’s 1891-1969

1512-1514 Curtis Street, Denver Colorado was originally home to the historic Baur’s candy confectionery, Baur’s Candy Shop, founded in 1872 by Otto P. Baur who claimed to scoop the very first ice cream soda. The Baur’s Candy Shop served as an anchor for the community of Denver. It was where families went together after church on Sundays, or where children waited in line for an ice-cream scoop after school. Later, the Candy Shop became Baur’s Restaurant, where it continued to serve Denver area as a popular chain into the 1970’s

Joseph, Jacob’s, Baur’s nephew continued to expand the family business by establishing Baur’s Restaurant and Candy Factory, which came to be known as Denver’s “most popular and longest-lived confectionery, catering and restaurant firm” for over five decades.

CONCEPT“form supports function” of building addition

building reaches out architecturally to support functionality of reaching

out to the community and those in need

The crisscross circulation pattern translates into the branding of the center

because it is composed of a series of interconnected parts which all aim to

improve and enrich the community

The intersecting, gridlike circulation creates stability for occupants while also allowing for multiple entries with varying levels of security to accomodate all members of the community whether they are seeking shelter services or volunteer opportunites.

1 five design solutions to address the root causes of homelessness

Community buy-in is Key.

CORE COMPLEX

Sustaining Change

Make the community your expert.

How can we address the root problems of chronic homelessness in Denver, Colorado?

1. Community Buy-In. The community is the expert2. Physiological Needs. First things first3. Education. Knowledge enables growth and change. 4. Medical Services. Be healthy and happy. 5. Advocacy. Because everyone needs help sometimes

The Purpose and main challenge of The Core Complex is to work with Denver’s Road Home and other local non-profit organizations to help the chronic homeless in Denver, Colorado become self-sufficient by addressing the root causes of chronic homelessness through education courses, job training, medical aid and legal assistance.By REACHING OUT, others will REACH NEW HEIGHTS. This transitional hand-held model (below) is representative of a an 18’ tall piece of art within The Core Complex that will not only serve as a physical indicator of transitional spaces between several functional areas: indoor and outdoor, reception and waiting, coffee bar and computer access, but, as community members enter through the doors of The Core Complex, this piece will also serve as a psychological reminder as to why they are there: to REACH OUT so others may REACH NEW HEIGHTS. They will transition from the roles they play in their day-to-day lives by helping the chronically homeless transition from life of dependency to a life of self-sufficiency.
