Many paths restrict views for the pedestrian, making navigation difficult in
dense urban enviornments. These paths are often seen to have no direction
and often avoided.

Creating an open side of a path, or making it more visible by removing disruptive objects,
can help someone navigate easier by knowing which direction they are heading towards to
their destination. Framing specifi c views can be memorable to the pedestrian and create a
place in which someone may stop and admire the specifi c view.

If the sides of buidings were connected to paths that frame certain views and

Single women and single mother refugees require extra support from each
other to be able to safely and easily acclimate to their new surroundings.
Many women are forced to come alone or with children to a new country as refugees.
Many of these women are not used to the financial burden of being the sole caretaker for
themselves and their children. They arrive in a new country not knowing the language or
the culture, and are then immediatly required to support themselves and their children. It
is through their housing that they can begin to create a community among themselves and
support each other. With shared living spaces mothers can watch children and cook for
multiple families. Friendships and support systems are created through everyday interaction.

Single women and single mother refugee housing should have individual units
with shared kitchens and terraces between them. This allows the women to
support each other in their community.
