Restorative Justice brings together those who have harmed, their victims, and affected community members into voluntary processes that repair harms–an alternative to the adversarial criminal justice system. Consultations with Impact Justice and Safe Futures in New London informed the design process.
This design for a community and restorative justice center stitches community together through civic space and the multiplication of grounds. Landscape weaves with building to bring views of nature into the experience of the project. The geometry of canted walls evokes both shelter (sloped in) and openness (sloped out).
As those who have been harmed seek to reintegrate and repair their communities, the design provides a parallel reorientation to the environment via the sloped walls that highlight rainfall, skylights and apertures that track the solar path, and natural ventilation.
