A person experiencing homelessness lacks shelter in its most basic form, but solving homelessness takes much more than buildings, and our contemporary moment reveals few problems that design, on its own, can resolve. According to the 2018 State of Homelessness in America report by the US Council of Economic Advisers, over half a million people in the US are homeless, with that number steadily increasing over the past three years—people living every day without this most basic form of protection that we as designers of our built environments provide.(1) In our own city of Austin, Texas, a 2021 report by the Ending Community Homelessness Coalition (ECHO) found that there are 3,160 Austinites experiencing homelessness, with more than 2,200 living without any shelter.

The main theme of TGA 8.32 this time is “Rethinking Typology”. Where Type is an abstract essence that can represent a group on the basis of the similarity of the original image. Because it is an essence, the application of type into a formal structure can also be shaped by local socio-cultural and economic factors, so that it appears as a model. Knowing the typologies of the building is very important because it will be a starting point for designing. 'type' as a continuous sequence of form and space, allows working quickly to define the parts of a unique design. Through the study of typologies, it will provide tactics and strategies in building continuity in the city. (Agustinus Sutanto)
Public Expose 8.32 is a Final Project exhibition for the Bachelor of Architecture Study Program, Department of Architecture and Planning, Faculty of Engineering, Tarumanagara University, Jakarta, Indonesia in Odd Semester 2021/2022.
