A refugee undergoes an intense amount of trauma<br />
through the journey in order to escape their country. Refugium’s<br />
proximity to all possible events mitigates this.<br />
Upon arrival a refugee would first and foremost seek the<br />
most basic of human needs. Access to healthcare is imperative,<br />
tending to any ailments one may have suffered<br />
along the way. These countless basic functions can be<br />
seen in the diagram on the right. This incredibly intense<br />
and exhaustive list is synthesized into the structure ever<br />
and omnipresent to service the needs of its inhabitants.<br />
Studying the diagram below one can understand the<br />
basic principle of the spatial arrangement of Refugium.<br />
The zonal demarcation of functions is the only order given<br />
to the space. The outer extremities host the Service<br />
Activities, allowing for privacy and not causing to much<br />
traffic within the flowing central nave of Refugium.<br />
The central area has the prime function of movement,<br />
allowing for unimpeded pedestrian movement while at<br />
the same time providing access to the mag lev network.<br />
This central space becomes a hub of activity, a lively<br />
pedestrian cityscape, bustling with any type of activity<br />
one can conjure up.<br />
