The City of Las Vegas' progressive visions lead to the development of a comprehensive homeless shelter, the Mobilized Assistance Shelter for the Homeless, or M.A.S.H., which emphasizes community, scale, and function. The project represents a dedicated collaboration between architects, engineers, community activists, social welfare professionals, and administrators.
The 13-acre site plan for M*A*S*H was developed in a charrette that was an exchange between six participating architectural firms. An urban "village" was conceived, with a common central walkway providing overall continuity, a sense of open space, and a means to link the various elements. The team was determined to devise a humanistic solution for a facility that is to provide resources and sleeping accommodations for the estimated 10,000 homeless that currently reside in the city.
