A Center for Victims of Domestic Violence in New Haven focuses on the concepts created in an advanced studio led by Turner Brooks (’65) and Jonathan Toews (BA ’98, MArch ’03), the work addressed how to design a Family Justice Center for New Haven. This relatively new institutional typology is designed to assist domestic violence victims on many social, emotional, and economic levels. It is an all-inclusive environment where the victim can seek help from a wide range of experts in different fields including law, physical and mental health, and life planning. The analyses and proposals demonstrate how engaging design can be integrated into a center to make a place of healing with access to city services. The book was edited by Ruike Lu (’21) with design concept by MGMT Design.
