Homeless children are often a hidden part of the society, though their need visible in plain sight, regarded as those that exist on the edge, perceived as shadows within society, often living in learnt fear. The intent of this dissertation is to discover how architecture can be used to convey a sense of security and stability, while providing the user with a sense of identity. That through the architecture, one can understand themselves within a space, and how space can allow them to live individually and collectively with others. The Programme of a shelter for Child-Headed families, seeks to explore the value of a shelter within an urban fabric, as a space that provides a semi-permanent solution to children who have experienced loss, and are in vulnerable situations. Exploring the notion of homelessness as far more than just a lack of shelter or having no place to sleep but advancing an opportunity to improve the lives of this socially excluded group, through architecture that speaks to identity, social inclusion and creating a sense of place. Exploring the value of a shelter within an urban fabric, as a space that engages the socio-spatial concepts, to create spaces and environments that are inclusive, and yet exclusive enough to create a haven of safety for its user, which they can identify with. mi2026 Architecture MArch (Prof) Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities 2021-02-15T14:15:48Z 2021-02-15T14:15:48Z 2021-04 2020-12 Mini Dissertation Masuku, B 2020, Seeking Identity Through Space: Sheltered, MArch (Prof) Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/78653> A2021 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/78653 en © 2019 University of Pretoria.
