I generally lurk in the shadows here (no phun intended), but I have these question(s).
1. Is there an architectural precursor to the modern day soup kitchen? I imagine it would have been a church?
2. Has anyone seen well designed examples for public service projects such as these. This project will combine a large kitchen and dining hall with transitional housing above.
I just did a roll up soup kitchen window - a roll up shutter inset into a former vestibule at an old catholic church. For the homeless to take it to go. Hey man everyones in hurry these days.
There is a recently finished project in Chicago that may be of interest. It was done by Stanley Tigerman and was published a couple of months back. See Tigerman's writing on the subject for moral validation, too.

Anybody?
Sorry I can't help you with any precidents, but that was a program we had 2nd year in school. It was a fun project.
We started it out by volunteering by handing out food, then eating lunch with the people there.

perhaps a monastery?

Check out the olympic village's.
The dining room is usually nothing more than a soup kitchen.
check out Koning Eizenberg - they did a few shelters or similar facilities.

The images from DAS are interesting, but I can find any images from Koning Eizenberg or Stanley Tigerman....
The project is the first one that comes up on his website.
