| Abstract | The study intends to understand and review the spatial organizations of a selected food bank and homeless shelter as representations of their respective typologies. The roles of these typologies, which heavily focus on providing support to the needy, is discussed at length. Methodology: The study is carried out by analyzing the space syntax of the case studies using measurable scale graphs. Through referencing source material and logical reasoning, the functions of the spaces are identified and mapped. The Larimer County Food Bank illustrates high segregation of circulation between different types of users. There is also significant prioritization to creating efficient flow throughout the building, which is most clearly illustrated by the provision of a catwalk for volunteers. The homeless shelter organizes its spaces using a central spine located on each floor. The use of corridors and sub corridors throughout the building helps define the different levels of access and privacy. This study shows the unique spatial structures of food banks and homeless shelters, revealing the nature of spaces designed to aid the needy. |
