Colorado Springs Houseless Village Charrette
Colorado Springs, CO
​This site is already occupied by people who are experiencing houselessness. Concrete Couch, an NGO that builds community places through community participation and public art, has acquired this very large urban parcel in order to develop a permanent headquarters. At the same time, they are interested in supporting a continued presence of houseless people, but in a much more organized approach that will provide essential infrastructure for safety and sanitation, cultural spaces, site stewardship, and even participation in their public art programs. The charrette depicted here represents a spectrum of possible configurations that would result in all desired outcomes.
