Space for Restorative Justice Book Launch at Yale Architecture Gallery

The Yale School of Architecture recently hosted the launch of Space for Restorative Justice, a publication emerging from the Fall 2018 studio led by Emily Abruzzo, Connecticut Community Justice Centers. The book examines how architecture can support new models of conflict resolution, replacing punitive environments with spaces for dialogue, shared meals, recreation, making, and learning. Featuring student projects, essays from field experts, and critiques from invited jurors, it proposes spatial frameworks that prioritize community support and collective agency over isolation. The work argues that justice environments can be civic, humane, and participatory rather than adversarial. The book is available through Yale..
