AIA Next LA Award for King Solomon Village [Homeless Shelter], Award

King Solomon Village proposes a prototypical solution to the widespread crisis of Angelenos living unsheltered. Repurposed from the kind of low-slung industrial shed that is found in various parts of our region, this temporary homeless shelter in South LA deploys simple architectural moves to bring in natural light, prioritize community space, and integrate landscape elements to create a strong sense of dignity in a welcoming environment.
