    STEP UP
    In this capstone project, I explore how spaces that have been emptied by society can be reappropriated to alleviate the conditions of homeless populations and maintain their body as a worker. Sustainable maintenance can be seen as a long-term solution for the care of a worker’s body and a workspace so that they can mutually benefit each other in the work system. I looked at the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco and understood how this tower, which has been unoccupied due to COVID-19, can be used by programs and initiatives that provide for the unhoused population of SoMa, San Francisco, not only through shelter but also health and skill development opportunities for a more economically and physically sustainable future.
